  • Point: the Ferret, Fylde Road, PR2 2NH
    John Horrocks plaque Start point: The Ferret, Fylde Road, PR2 2NH. John Horrocks, a cotton manufacturer and Member of Parliament for Preston, built the city’s first steam-powered cotton mill on this site in 1796. Impressed with the cotton industry’s possibilities, John devoted himself to cotton-spinning and began selling his yarn through the Lancashire manufacturing districts. His well-earned reputation for quality resulted in him moving from Edgworth to Preston in 1791 and manufacturing cotton shirtings and long-cloths, in addition to spinning cotton yarn. Within a year of arriving in Preston, John built his first large mill on Dale Street, with the help of his business partner Richard Newsham. With demand increasing, he soon obtained monopoly over the manufacture of cottons and muslins for the Indian market from the British East India Company. As the business continued to grow, more mills were built and John made his brother a partner within the firm and invited his uncle to join the business. John Whitehead and Thomas Miller were also made partners in 1801, resulting in the business becoming Horrockses, Miller, & Co. Even after the death of John Horrocks in 1804, the business continued to move through the ages. In 1887 the company merged with Crewdson, Crosses and Co. to become Horrockses, Crewdson & Co. The 1940s saw the company launching Horrockses Fashions. Their off the peg dresses proved very popular and were famously worn by the Queen on her first Commonwealth Tour. After the brand was shelved in the 1980s, it has since been revived and released a line of clothing through the popular online clothing company ASOS.

  • Shoreline Summary
    HESKETH WITH BECCONSALL PARISH COUNCIL Shoreline Summary Hesketh Out Marsh Edition 34 December 2013 WELCOME TO OUR NEW SERIES OF “MEET YOUR COUNCIL” Parish Councils, despite their name, are often confused with Parochial Church Councils, but whilst more often than not they share the same geographical boundaries, that is where the similarity ends. Parish Councils are the first tier of local government and are established by statute first coming into existence in 1894 although the bulk of their authority stems from the 1972 Local Government Act. “Hesketh with Becconsall Parish Council”, as it is properly known, is one of the small number of elite Councils that have achieved the Government sponsored status of “Quality Council” and been granted the legal “Power of Competence” which recognises the fact that the Council works within prescribed practices and protocols and makes itself fully accountable including the employment of a professionally qualified Clerk and Finance Officer. Over the coming months, we’ll be bringing you snapshots of the various individuals that make up the Council starting with our Chairman Paul Sergeant. Paul, as many of you will know, has been a leading light on the Council and the local sporting scene for many years; he first joined the Council in 1996 and is now Chairman for a second time since May 2012. At 56 years old he has lived in Hesketh Bank all his life and has seen the village triple in size. Paul is married with six children and one grandchild. Originally educated at Preston Catholic College, he subsequently achieved a BA Honours degree having studied Graphic Design at Preston Polytechnic.
