  • Patient Participation Group Newsletter
    Summer 2019 Edition Patient Participation Group Newsletter Your Practice (Waterfoot Medical Practice) We’re changing our name! With new GP partners coming on board at the practice we have decided it’s time for a name change. In consultation with our Patient Participation Group we decided not to stray too far from our current name of Waterfoot Group of Doctors and are opting for Waterfoot Medical Practice. Waterfoot Wildflower Meadow You may have noticed the grass around Waterfoot Medical Practice is being left to grow this summer. This is to encourage the wild flowers to grow for the benefit of the local wildlife, our patients and our staff. We will be managing this area with a yearly cut in early September. The cut grass will then be seeded with a plant called Yellow Rattle and we expect a flower filled meadow to develop over the next few years. If you would like any further information, or you would like to help with the development of the meadow, please get in touch with us at the surgery. Keeping Active Over the summer months our Doctors have been busy taking part in physical challenges, and all for a good cause. On 23rd June Dr Narayan took part in the Big NHS Walk where NHS Trust staff and the local community walked 12 miles whilst raising as much money as possible for our local hospitals. Dr Hinchliffe took on the Race for Life Pretty Muddy on 13th July to raise money for cancer research. This involved racing her way through 5km of muddy obstacles.

Article 1 of Protocol 1 The right of peaceful enjoyment of possessions and protection of property. Site This application relates to a site of approx 1.8ha in area at the head of Cowpe Brook valley. The site is occupied by a series of traditional stone-built mill buildings, with later alterations/additions and other ancillary buildings, totalling 10,300 sq m of floorspace. Besides these buildings, which vary in height up to 3-storeys, there is a 50m high chimney stack and a lodge which occupies broadly a third of the site. This complex is prominent as viewed from Cowpe Road, to which the application site has a 300m frontage on the north side, from a lane running along its west side and from the rising open land around it. From the lodge flows a watercourse which is for the most part culverted as it runs through the application site, with Mill Building B bridging over it.

  • CLOUGHFOLD Formerly a Large Manufacturing Village In
    CLOUGHFOLD formerly a large manufacturing village in the parish of Newchurch, was formed into a separate ecclesiastical district Marcy 26, 1887, from the new parishes of Rawtenstall and St James' Waterfoot, and part of the parochial chapelry of Newchurch, in Rossendale, and is now included in the municipal borough and civil parish of Rawtenstall; it is in the county court district of Bacup, a station on the East Lancashire section of the London, Midland and Scottish railway. The church of St John, erected in 1890, at a cost of £5,000, is a building of stone in the Gothic style of the late 14th century, consisting of chancel, cloistered nave of five bays, transept, e.t.c. and south porch, and the base of a tower: there are 450 sittings. The register dates from 1880. The living is a vicarage, net yearly value £210, with residence, in the gift of the Bishop of Manchester, and held since 1902 by the Rev Charles Merchant, MA of Worcester College, Oxford. The Baptist Chapel, built in 1657 and subsequently enlarged in 1838 and 1853, cost upwards of £2,000. Dr Isaac Watts, the well known author of "Psalms and Hymns" and of various songs and hymns for children, was sometime minister here. There are also Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist chapels. The works of the Rossendale Gas Company are in this village. The population of the ecclesiastical district in 1911 was 3,110. NEWCHURCH-IN-ROSSENDALE now included within the municipal borough of Rawtenstall, is a village on the old high road from Burnley to Manchester, 3 1/2 miles east from Haslingden.
