The Padiham Heritage Appraisal Local Development Framework for Burnley Padiham Area Action Plan Heritage Appraisal Padiham ‘Heritage is all around us. We live our lives, whether consciously or not, against a rich backdrop formed by historic buildings, landscapes and other physical survivals of our past. But the historic environment is more than just a matter of material remains. It is central to how we see ourselves and to our identity as individuals, communities and as a nation. It is a physical record of what our country is, how it came to be, its successes and failures. It is a collective memory containing an infinity of stories. England’s history is a gradual accumulation of movement and arrivals, new stories attaching themselves to old. Urban and rural landscapes reflect this layering of experience and develop their own distinct characteristics. Building materials and styles can define and bind regions, localities and communities just as potently as ethnic background, dialect or sporting loyalties. Historic landscapes or iconic buildings can become a focus of community identity and pride and proclaim that identity and pride to the wider world. At a more local level a historic church or park can help define a neighbourhood and create a sense of local cohesion. Once lost, these defining features cannot be replaced.’ The Government’s statement: The Historic Environment: A Force for Our Future (DCMS/DTLR 2001) Acknowledgment Burnley Borough Council would like to acknowledge the historical advice and assistance given by Margaret Jones, Molly Haines, Mike Rothwell and Duncan Armstrong in the production of the Padiham Heritage Appraisal.

Nine sub-regional Market Restructuring Pathfinder Projects have been created to bring about market renewal and tackle associated high levels of crime and social exclusion. The East Lancashire Pathfinder includes parts of Blackburn, Hyndburn, Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale. 1.1.2 Within Burnley Borough Council’s Pathfinder intervention area, Area Action Plans (AAPs) are being prepared to guide the regeneration of areas which are considered to be suffering from the worst deprivation and housing market failure. 1.1.3 It is important that this regeneration is informed by an understanding of the past. This Heritage Appraisal has been undertaken in order to ensure that Padiham’s heritage is taken into account in future housing market renewal and regeneration programmes. 1.2 Heritage Appraisals 1.2.1 The Importance of Heritage Heritage encompasses not just buildings and streets but also gardens, parks, monuments, industrial complexes, waterways and roads, archaeological sites and open landscapes. It is estimated that only 5% of this resource is protected by statutory legislation. Our heritage also includes languages, stories, traditions and foods. An awareness of heritage gives people and places an identity and significance. It gives localities their distinctive character and marks their individuality as neighbourhoods and as part of the wider town. 1.2.2 The Purpose of Heritage Appraisals Elements of the borough’s historic environment are recognized as nationally or locally important and are protected by law through statutory designation such as Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas. However, the particular local historic character of a place is not always marked by any of these formal designations, even though it is appreciated and well known to local people. Heritage Appraisals are a method of recognising this special quality and are now becoming an established approach in Conservation Planning. 1.2.3 Heritage Appraisals are being undertaken as part of the Area Action Plan (AAP) process to ensure that regeneration proposals are informed by a sound understanding of the heritage importance of the AAP areas and proper regard to their historic character and local distinctiveness. The appraisals will show how seemingly mundane, normal or everyday historic elements can contribute significantly to the overall quality and character of places or may be interesting in their own right. Opportunities to retain or enhance the local character will be identified through this process. 1.2.4 Heritage Appraisals offer an understanding as to how the historical evolution of the AAP areas has shaped their present day character and the distinctive qualities of the neighbourhoods. It is intended to use this understanding to guide regeneration proposals so that they acknowledge and build on that character. Heritage Appraisals recognise that change is desirable, but urge that it should respect, rather than detract from, the existing environment. 2 heritage appraisal 1.2.5 Heritage Appraisals provide an assessment of the elements which give the neighbourhoods their distinctive character. These elements include: • Historical development and associations • Pattern of street layouts and historic transport routes – rail and road • Activity and vitality of land-uses • Building materials, styles and architectural detailing • Quality and relationship of buildings • Prominent landmarks, vistas and panoramas • Setting and topography • Trees, parks and open spaces 1.2.6 These elements may make a positive contribution or they may, in some instances, detract from the area. 1.2.7 Heritage Appraisals will aim to: • Assess the origins and development of areas to provide a good understanding of the historic environment of the neighbourhoods and its role in modern life and local communities. • Define and evaluate the qualities which create the distinct character of areas, their heritage resources and the contribution they make to the quality of the townscape. • Identify opportunities to retain, strengthen and enhance local character and identity. • Inform the redevelopment and/or renovation of areas in order to strengthen distinctive local character and identity. 1.2.8 This approach reflects the importance of local character in the definition of sense of place as emphasised in English Heritage’s policy statement The Power of Place (2001).

Padiham historically occupied an area on the northern banks of the Calder with its historic centre lying 5 km west of Burnley. It expanded across the river during the second half of the 19th century and currently forms part of the modern parish of West Burnley. 2.2 Geology and Topography 2.2.1 The geology, topography and natural features of the area have influenced the development and character of Padiham.

Haworth 2 From the Chair As we are aware, the new Northern franchise will commence in early 2016, and the consultation process has begun.The Government has decided to keep the two separate franchises with Trans Pennine Express offering the express services in the region. They are also looking to transfer into the Northern franchise some services operated by another franchise and these include the Oxenhlme – Windermere service. Consultations such as these can be seen as either a challenge or a threat and in our response RVR will use this opportunity to seek for enhancement of services, rolling stock, connectivity and station facilities. The document can be found at: www.gov.uk/government/consultation/future-of-northern-transpennine-express-rail-franchise We have seen changes in staff on the line with John Ryan replacing Stephen Curry as our Station Manager,and we hope to meet him shortly at one of our RVR meetings. I had the pleasure of travelling on the 25th Anniversary Train from Leeds to Carlisle on Friday 11th April to celebrate the saving of the Settle to Carlisle Line. It was a superbly organized event with a packed train enjoying the scenery. Full details later in the magazine.

  • 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.

  • Ribble Valley Settlement Hierarchy
    RIBBLE VALLEY SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY Executive Summary Observations The summary below is derived from the more detailed analyses of the contextual and demographic data set out in Appendix 1 and the local services and facilities data described in Appendix 2. • Clitheroe stands out as the most significant settlement within the Borough, with the best provision of services and facilities • The next two settlements, Longridge and Whalley also stand out from all other settlements in terms of provision across all the various service and facilities categories. While Whalley is smaller than some other settlements, such as Langho and Wilpshire, they have significantly poorer service and facility provision. In Wilpshire’s case this could be due to the services in the area falling into adjacent parts of Blackburn. • Eleven settlements clustered towards the bottom of the hierarchy all scored poorly across nearly all categories. These are: Osbaldeston, Tosside, Copster Green, Pendleton, Sawley, Calderstones, Newton, Wiswell, Rimington, Worston and Holden. Only in terms of community facilities did a few of this group, Pendleton, Newton and Rimington, have good or reasonable provision. This leaves 21 remaining settlements within the hierarchy with a spectrum of provision between these two extremes. There are no significant “step changes” within this group, however those towards the top of this group, scoring 20 and above points were considered the initially most likely to possibly act as more local centres. It could be argued that this 20 point limit is somewhat arbitrary however. • This group contains: Langho, Mellor, Chatburn, Ribchester, Waddington, Dunsop Bridge and Sabden. Most of this group, perhaps unsurpringly, have relatively large populations of over 1000, with only Waddington and Dunsop Bridge being smaller.

    ITEM NO REPORT TO EXECUTIVE DATE 10th December 2013 PORTFOLIO Resources REPORT AUTHOR Andrew Leah TEL NO 01282 477149 EMAIL [email protected] ASSET MANAGEMENT – PUBLIC TOILET PROVISION PURPOSE 1. To report on current provision of toilet facilities in the Borough and outline proposals for future action. RECOMMENDATION 2. That Executive approve the closure of the public toilets at Colne Road (Queensgate) adjacent to the bus depot, Briercliffe Road adjacent to the hospital, East Street in Hapton and reduced opening hours for the toilets at Padiham Town Hall. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION 3. To promote the ongoing review and rationalisation of toilet provision across the Borough to reduce costs. SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS 4. The Council last reviewed toilet provision in April 2004 following which a number of the less well used and inadequate toilet blocks, Accrington Road, Manchester Road, Thursfield Road, Lee Street, Cliviger and Duke Street (Harle Syke) were closed. 5. Since this time the Council has concentrated upon providing modern accessible toilet accommodation in the most heavily used locations. Examples include the new toilet blocks at Towneley Hall, Memorial Park, improvements to facilities at Queens Park and Burnley Bus Station. 6. Despite this investment there remain a number of old, outdated and inappropriately located conveniences where problems exist both in respect of inappropriate use and vandalism. 7. T oilets in parks are managed by Green Spaces and their use and development therefore needs to be considered in the context of their setting within the park, public usage of the same and the use of adjoining facilities such as bowling greens and http://sharepoint/CEO/Democracy/Executive/10-12-2013/PUBLIC TOILETS.doc tennis courts.

  • British Textile Biennial Programme 2019
    3RD OCTOBER —— 3RD NOVEMBER 2019 OF EVENTS PROGRAMME information visit the website at more details & programme For BRITISHTEXTILEBIENNIAL.CO.UK In my many years of working in the fashion industry, I’ve always celebrated the best of British textile traditions. It’s an industry that I love and admire and one that has been in my family for generations. It’s an industry alive with skill, passion and innovation; an industry with both an incredible history and an exciting future. I am delighted to be Patron of the British Textile Biennial to celebrate all of this and to ensure its future by encouraging young people to get engaged with making and manufacturing again. It’s important to Lancashire that the textile industry thrives because it provides great careers for thousands of people but also a great sense of connection with the past and a sense of pride.
