MINUTES of a Committee Meeting of the Civic Society Held On 1 MINUTES of a Committee Meeting of the Civic Trust held on Wednesday, 2nd October 2019 at Burnley Town Hall. Mr. E. Walton, (Deputy Chairman), occupied the Chair throughout the meeting. PRESENT: Mr. D.A. Smith, Mrs. J. Evans, Mr. P. Hornby, Mr. T. Mitchell, Mr. A. Lucas, Mr. R. Collinge, Mr. B. Hall, Mr. N.G. Ashworth, Ms. S. Barker, Mr. G. Grimshaw, Mr. E. Walton and Mr. D. Kilpatrick. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE: Mr. R. B. Frost, Mr. & Mrs. N. Fawcett, Mr. P. Pike, Mr. M. Beck, Miss K. Armfield and Mr. B. Marks. MINUTES: The minutes of the committee meeting held on the 4th September 2019 were approved. MATTERS ARISING: i. Heritage Open Days: Mr. B. Hall reported that the canal towpath trail had been well supported, also the Weavers’ Triangle Walk led by the Chairman. It was hoped to get the progamme out early next year with Hyndburn and Pendle also participating. Events in Padiham had gone well with lots of photos at the well attended town hall event. ii. Civic Trust proposed Heritage Event, 2020: St. Peter’s Church had been booked for 23rd May 2020. It was hoped to arrange a meeting of the committee sometime in October. iii. Future Public Meetings: It was decided to arrange a public meeting on 11th March 2020 when a talk and display by the Archive Group would be arranged. The rooms at the town hall would be booked for 11th March. An approach would be made to UCLAN to find a speaker on climate change for a public meeting in October or November 2020. iv. Civic Trust Awards: A preliminary list of potential awards was drawn up and is printed at the end of these minutes. More suggestions would be welcomed before a final decision can be made. PLANNING MATTERS: FUL/2019/0470: Coal Clough Windfarm, The Long Causeway, Cliviger; proposed solar farm with associated infrastructure and perimeter fence. The structure would be harmful to bees, since the panels would take all the ground with little room between and destroy the space where they collected the nectar. After a full discussion, it was decided that since this was principally a wildlife issue, it would be left to the Wildlife Forum to take up the issue. FUL/2019/0396: 1-5, Yorke St; discharge of Condition 2 (scheme for the replacement of windows) of application APP/2019/0067, relating to the conversion of part of the first floor and second floor from offices to an education training use and replacement of partial window frames with sash windows to match the original. The Archive group had produced a photo of the original buildings, which would be sent to the planning authorities, expressing a hope that the completed work would be like the original. The meeting was informed about the following: 2 Proposed Red Lees Road development: Because of the special importance of the application, it had been decided to refer the matter to a full council meeting on Wednesday, 16th October. The footpath closure notice had now been published and any objection would mean a further enquiry. (Some members questioned why this footpath order had been published before the 16th October full council meeting). Former Ebenezer Baptist Church, Colne Road: No one seemed to know what was going on at the former church building facing Hebrew Road where the roof timbers were exposed to the elements. BURNLEY EXPRESS ARCHIVES REPORT: Mr. E. Walton read out a letter from a former Burnley Express photographer and engraver; in it he praised the “tremendous” work of the group which was much appreciated by a growing public. In September 149,214 hits had been recorded. Possible links with Clitheroe Civic Trust had been established; they would be invited to the next Burnley Civic Trust public talk. Items for inclusion in AOB were received. REPORT: TREES FOR BURNLEY: In September the group had been at Queen’s Park, doing maintenance work on the arboretum trees, an enjoyable task since a lot of work was needed on the trees. Members were encouraged to go and look at the giant redwoods there, which were looking most impressive. Trees for Burnley would like to produce a leaflet describing the arboretum trees in the park. Ash dieback was having a serious effect on ash trees in the area. Whitebeam trees were also becoming affected. ANY OTHER BUSINESS: i. Mayor’s Civic Ball: This would take place at Crow Wood on Saturday, 23rd November 2019, price £35 per person. ii. Burnley Road, Cliviger: It was thought that the excavated land on Burnley Road could be connected to railway works. iii. Railway Re-opening: It was agreed to send a letter in support of the re-opening of the Colne to Skipton railway line. v. Car park, Thompson Park: The car park in the park was still not open. It was thought that this was because Lancashire County Council had not yet given permission. DATE AND FORM OF NEXT MEETING: A.G.M., Wednesday, 6th November at 7pm. at Burnley Town Hall. Mr. E. Walton would give a short presentation. The 4th December meeting would be a business meeting and at the 8th January 2020 meeting Mr. T. Mitchell would give a presentation.

  • 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.

  • A Narrative History of the Colne ILP Clarion House, with A
    A narrative history of the Colne I.L.P. Clarion House, with a note on the other Clarion Houses in north-east Lancashire The Colne Clarion House was established in 1911 when the Colne Independent Labour Party purchased the former Farmers’ Tavern, or Farmers’ Arms, at Shelfield in the Great Marsden district of Nelson. As is shown on the following map, the building is about 1044 feet above sea-level. The map was based on a survey of 1892 and published in 1895. Since 1903 the term Clarion House had been used by the Nelson I.L.P. for its property near Roughlee: the Colne I.L.P. may have followed its example. Although the Colne building ceased to be a Clarion House in the 1950’s it is still marked as such on modern-day maps, as on the map below. 1 At the time of the 1841 population census the building was occupied by three households. The head of each household was described as a cotton weaver: all three were probably weaving by hand under the domestic system. Two of the households were probably accommodated in the main part of the building: one household in the front and the other in the back. The third household was probably living in the extension to the house that can be seen in the following photograph, which was possibly taken in the 1910’s. Note the three chimneys. 2 The second photograph is a recent one taken from the rear of the building. The chimney on the extension is no longer there.

  • Lancashire (Blackburn)
    LANCASHIRE Lancashire is a large county in north-west of England, bordered by the sea to the west. The counties of Cumberland and Westmorland lie to the north, the West Riding of Yorkshire to the east, and Cheshire to the south. In the nineteenth century the county was transformed. It began as a mainly agricultural region but became an area with many large urban regions and a variety of industrial occupations. This transformation led to frequent changes in the administrative structure, both in the county-at- large and in the towns and cities. Because of the complex and changing structure, the information about weights and scales is presented here in six sections. The sections correspond geographically to the six ancient hundreds of the county, as shown in the map above. (The hundred of Lonsdale was divided naturally into two parts, North and South ‘of the Sands’, but it was administered as one unit.) It must be stressed that, although the administration of the county was based on these geographical areas, the individual hundreds did not have independent jurisdiction. 1 The hundred of BLACKBURN in Lancashire The hundred of Blackburn lies in the east of the county of Lancashire and is bordered partly by the West Riding of Yorkshire. In 1826 the county received two sets of standards for use in the Higher and Lower Divisions of the hundred. The same divisions continued after 1846, when the police force began to take over the inspection of weights and measures. An additional division, Bacup and Rawtenstall, was formed in 1861. There was a further reorganisation in 1878, after which there were four divisions: Higher, Lower, Haslingden, and Rossendale.

    Annual Report 2016 SUPER SLOW WAY_ ANNUAL REPORT 2016 2016 has been an extraordinary year for Super Slow Way. WE HAVE SUPPORTED AND DEVELOPED 30 PROJECTS WITH OVER 200 ARTISTS 20 ARTS ORGANISATIONS AND OVER 40,000 ATTENDANCES Bringing great art to the banks of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal Connecting people with artists, each other and their waterway SUPER SLOW WAY: SPARKING A CREATIVE REVOLUTION IN PENNINE LANCASHIRE. Cover image: Shapes of Water, Sounds of Hope. Photo by Graham Kay This image: Kinara. 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.
