  • Earby Through 60 Years Kelbrook Band
    Earby Through 60 Years An Outstanding Kelbrook Worthy Mr. Eli Cowgill’s School days (By John Hartley) 22/4/1938 In the last article a brief reference was made to my friend, Eli Cowgill, of Kelbrook. Two days after its publication be passed away suddenly, following a seizure, and being unconscious he was unable to read it. He had actually anticipated it, for a few days previously he remarked to his wife, "I think Johnnie will put something in' t' Craven Herald about him and me being at t' Sough together." For many years he had been one of the outstanding characters in his native village, especially of those who had been associated with the Smallpage era. He had a lively recollection of those days, and delighted to recount interesting incidents of his earlier years. He received his education spasmodically, part of it at a private elementary school at the old Baptist Chapel at Earby, the school being run by Joseph Heaton, whose father had been the Baptist minister for a few years. The "master" was rather slack in enforcing discipline, and also in his own personal habits. On a hot summer afternoon he would sometimes send one of the boys with a can to the White Lion Inn for a pint of beer to slake his thirst; and one pint was not always sufficient. When he was overcome with the indulgence he would send the scholars home for the rest of the day. "Joss" Heaton could not be said to have inspired much reverence by his personal influence upon his pupils.

Once in Aitken Wood, which is situated on a slope, you could easily walk another mile walking around. Please wear stout footwear as there can be some muddy stretches after wet weather. Allow around 2 to 3 hours for your visit. See back cover for details on how to book a tramper vehicle for easier access to the wood for people with walking difficulties. Visit the Pendle Sculpture Trail in an atmospheric woodland setting. Art, history and nature come together against the stunning backdrop of Pendle Hill. Four artists have created a unique and intriguing range of sculptures. Their work is inspired by the history of the Pendle Witches of 1612 and the natural world in this wild and beautiful corner of Lancashire. A Witches Plaque Explore the peaceful setting of Aitken Wood to find ceramic plaques by Sarah McDade. She’s designed each one individually to symbolise the ten people from Pendle who were accused of witchcraft over 400 years ago.

  • Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool
    Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool Introduction Lancashire is committed to achieving excellent outcomes for its children and young people. Our aim for all our young people is for them to have the best possible start in life so that all have the opportunity to fulfill their learning potential. Schools and other settings should be safe and orderly places where all children and young people can learn and develop. The consequences of behaviour which challenges others can, if not addressed effectively, impact negatively on individual pupils and groups of pupils. The need for the Local Authority, schools and other partners to work together to address behavioural issues is essential if we are to promote high standards of achievement and attainment for all. The purpose of the Behaviour Support tool is to produce accessible, and accurate information for schools and settings in one place, on sources of training, support and advice led by Lancashire services and clear pathways in relation to meeting pupil's social, emotional and behavioural needs. Aims 1. To develop safe, calm and ordered school environments within which pupils are able to learn and develop and thrive. 2. To develop skills for emotional literacy, positive social relationships and emotional health and well-being among pupils to take into their adult lives beyond school. 3. To Improve capacity within our schools and other settings to include all our pupils including those children and young people who, at times, may present very challenging behaviour, as a result of a variety of factors originating both within the child or young person or resulting from their social environment.

Not too long ago, the fast flowing streams tumbling down their slopes powered the mills that fuelled the industrial revolution. Its legacy is borough rich with history and home to a highly skilled and industrious workforce. Many world leading manufacturers are proud to call Pendle home. Rolls-Royce is at the heart of the largest aerospace manufacturing cluster in the country. In 1985, two of its former employees founded Hope Technology, a company that is leading innovation in the manufacture of bicycle components. The growth in popularity of cycling, athletics and endurance sports has also seen Science in Sport (SiS) emerge as a leading brand in sports nutrition for elite athletes and enthusiasts. This entrepreneurial activity takes place amongst some of the most unspoilt, yet easily accessible landscapes in the country. They provide residents and visitors alike with the opportunity to enjoy the best of our natural environment. The Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) lies in the shadow of Pendle Hill.
