Downham is a small rural village to the north east of Clitheroe. The village is scattered beside a minor road which runs from Chatburn in a south-easterly direction down the slope to the valley bottom before ascending the eastern slopes of Pendle Hill. The road forms the main route through the village and is called, not surprisingly, Main Street.

The former School, now home to a pre-school group, was built in 1839 using limestone walls with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. It is a grade II listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 183340 Link British Listed Buildings).
