  • Book Review: River Calder
    Book review: River Calder by Pam Norfolk [email protected] Tucked away in the well-trodden Lancashire countryside near Burnley is the mysteriously named Valley of the Goblins. The real name of this wild, isolated and beautiful spot is Thursden, part of a popular walking route which follows the River Calder. ‘Thurses’ were supernatural goblins or poltergeists in the Middle Ages and locals believed that one of their last haunts was the Thursden Valley. The ancients, many of whom were buried in this uncompromising place, also believed that the Norse god Thor lived here and created thunder by banging his giant hammer against the rocks below Rieve Edge. Within the valley is a stream which eventually becomes the River Calder, the shortest in England and one of three rivers (the others being the Ribble and Hodder) which meet in Mitton. The Calder was once described as ‘the Cinderella’ of the trio because of its industrial past but it has been undergoing something of a renaissance. The fish are coming back, over a million trees have been planted in the nearby moorland cloughs, abandoned coal mines no longer discharge into local streams and the Ribble Rivers Trust is working hard to improve the waters and to celebrate a new era for this rich and historic area, Burnley Borough Councillor and Burnley Civic Society chairman Roger Frost has collaborated with Ian Thompson and Victoria Dewhurst on this fully illustrated guide. The river passes through Holme Chapel, Walk Mill, Burnley, Padiham, Altham and Whalley before joining the Ribble near Great Mitton. It lies in the shadow of brooding Pendle Hill and its name essentially means ‘fast-flowing water.’ And the Calder can certainly be perilous.

  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

  • PROGRAMME of EVENTS SEPTEMBER 7–30 2017 Pennine Lancashire Is Shaped by Textiles; They Are Woven Through Its Social and Urban Fabric
    PROGRAMME OF EVENTS SEPTEMBER 7–30 2017 Pennine Lancashire is shaped by textiles; they are woven through its social and urban fabric. By the end of the 19th century the area, stretching along the banks of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, was producing 85% of the world’s cotton goods and it was this global trade that brought thousands of workers to drive its mills over the ensuing centuries, building a creative, industrious and diverse population that shapes the area today. Drawing on this rich heritage, Fabrications is the UK’s first festival that celebrates and explores textiles and the textile industry through the eyes of artists. Taking place in galleries, museums and former textile mills across Blackburn, Hyndburn, Burnley and Pendle throughout September, the festival presents something for everyone with exhibitions, residencies, workshops, a craft fair hosted by Selvedge magazine and major art installations and performances including the premiere of Suzanne Lacy’s film produced with the people of Pendle.

Photo by Matthew Savage superslowway.org.uk 3 INTRODUCTION IN 2016 SUPER SLOW WAY WENT FROM BEING AN IDEA, LOADED WITH POSSIBILITY AND PROMISE, TO AN EXPLOSION OF ACTIVITY. WE SUPPORTED AND DEVELOPED 30 PROJECTS, IN WHICH WE CONNECTED OVER 200 ARTISTS WITH COMMUNITIES IN THE FORM OF COMMISSIONS AND ARTIST RESIDENCIES, MASS PARTICIPATION PROJECTS AND THREE MAJOR FESTIVALS. IT WAS A VERY BUSY YEAR INDEED. Throughout the year we celebrated the Bicentenary of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal – the UK’s longest waterway and the artery that powered the heart of the Industrial Revolution: the mill towns of Pennine Lancashire. Our bold programme has nurtured the beginnings of a creative revolution along its banks, as the post-industrial landscape is transformed and repurposed for social and civic activity. We have watched people come together through art and seen communities begin to think about their self- representation and self-determination, whether through mass participation projects such as Shapes of Water, Sounds of Hope in Brierfield and the thunderous triumph ofSuper Slow Way: A Rhapsody to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal; or in smaller, gentler, but equally profound, projects such as Stephen Turner’s Exbury Egg in Burnley, idle women’s floating arts centre, andBeyond Labels with the young men of Hollins Technology College, among many others.
