There is no evidence From Church Street upt’ Market Street page 14 that Colne was a Roman settlement with the name of “Colunio”! The former village of Waterside (in the South From Market Street upt’ Keighley Road page 19 Valley to the right of Albert Road) is full of history. Locals called Waterside ‘Wapping’, which means ‘by Making your way back page 21 the water’, as Colne Water runs through the valley. It was once the heart of Colne with a population twice the size of the rest of the town during the 19th Century when cotton was king. The wealth of Colne was built on the cotton industry and its good transport links. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal opened to Leeds in 1796 and to Liverpool in 1816 – so connecting cotton, canal and the Colne Community. The railway to Leeds opened in 1848 and to Manchester and Liverpool in 1849. Main roads were built in the 1920/30s along the East Lancashire Valley routes. In 1900 there were 55 cotton mills in Colne with 27 of them in Waterside. Of these,17 were in the South Valley east of the railway viaduct up to Carry Lane. and 10 were to the west of the viaduct on the boundary A view of Colne in 1900 showing the mills of Colne. with Nelson.

  • Memories of Colne
    MEMORIES OF COLNE By Mrs. Cryer, of Burnley (Formerly Miss Margaret Jane Ward, of Colne) in Collaboration with Mr. Willie Bell, of Burnley (Formerly of Colne) Reprinted from the “Colne and Nelson Times” March to August 1910 (Scanned with optical character recognition and reformatted by Craig Thornber, January 1998) -1- Introduction In 1910, Mrs. Cryer produced a series of articles for the “Colne and Nelson Times”, recalling her memories of Colne in the 1850’s. She had a remarkable memory and recounted the names and details of most of the town’s shop-keepers and their families. The book is a treasure trove for all those with family history interests in Colne in the middle of last century. To my delight, at the end of Chapter IV, I found mention of Miss Margaret Cragg, the sister of my great great grandfather. The book based on Mrs. Cryer’s articles is now very rare, so the opportunity has been taken to reproduce it. This version has been produced from a photocopy of the book by computer scanning, using an optical character recognition programme. Computer scanning is never completely accurate, particularly with punctuation marks, and when working from a document with low contrast. While the final version has been subjected to proof reading and computer based spelling checks, a few errors may remain, for which I am responsible. Many of the sentences and paragraphs are very long and the division into chapters is somewhat arbitrary, but the book has been reproduced as written. The numbering of chapter XIII has been corrected and a few changes have been made to the format for reasons of clarity.

  • 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.

This flooding occurred as a result of high flows and blockages in the brook. Today, 79 properties are at risk of flooding in the village with a 1% (1 in 100) chance of occurrence in any one year. 64 of these properties are at risk from more frequent events. Flooding in Trawden is caused by water coming out of the channel when river levels are too high. This is made worse when the channel becomes blocked by debris at bridge crossings. Rainfall can flow very quickly through the catchment, which means there is a limited amount of time in which to warn people of flooding. Whilst there is currently no flood warning service in place for Trawden we are looking at the possibility of providing this service.

  • 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.

  • Local Government Boundary Commission Electoral Review of Pendle Borough Council Submission for 15 Three-Councillor Wards Covering Pendle
    Local Government Boundary Commission Electoral review of Pendle Borough Council Submission for 15 three-councillor wards covering Pendle. This number of councillors (45) and wards (15) will on the whole enable the current method of governance by ‘area committees’ to continue with a sufficient number of councillors on each area committee. The current Barrowford & Western Parishes and Brierfield & Reedley District Committees each comprises 6 councillors and I would think that any fewer councillors on an area committee would present a real question as to whether this format of governance for planning matters etc remains viable. Because my main issue regarding my proposed number of Pendle Borough Councillors overall is maintaining the current method of governance by area committees, I have taken a somewhat precocious step in order to demonstrate the need for this number. As an example of how 15 wards could be organised into functioning district committees with planning powers etc. I have drawn up a cursory plan as follows: Cursory plan My point including this cursory plan at this stage is that if the current method of governance by area/district committee is to continue then we need enough councillors to enable it to function. Until the time that the government of the day see fit to grant statutory planning powers to town and parish councils, district committees with non-voting co-optees from pertinent town and parish councils remains the order of the day to provide electors with the degree of localism to which they have become accustomed. There is a statutory requirement for the Boundary Commission to ensure that the recently reviewed Lancashire County Divisions comprise town and parish council wards and it is to be hoped that if Pendle Borough Council district committees are to be maintained, similar non- statutory constraints will need to be applied to the new Borough ward boundaries.
