Copy deadline for the July issue: Monday 8th June Boothy’s Bit Weekend of Running 3 rd /4 th /5 th July As you know, after much deliberation, the Committee has decided that this year’s club event will be a weekend of running, which will comprise three races: Time Date Race Loca tion 7.15pm Friday 3 rd July Uphill Mile Clowbridge 2.00pm Sat 4 th July Fell Race Reservoir Sailing Club th 11.00am Sunday 5 Trail Race BB11 5PF July Race 1, Uphill Mile , will commence at the cattle grid at the bottom of the metalled (tarmac) road GR 824283 and finish at the entrance to the Golf Ball area GR 810286. The race will take the form of a time trial, with runners setting off at 30 second intervals. Race 2, Fell Race , will follow the same route as the Uphill Mile, to the Golf Balls, taking the bridle way, rather than the road, over the last 250m. From there you go along the track towards May Well, before a sharp right turn to the Hameldon Hill trig. Follow the rutted path over the moor to the top of the ‘Dry Valley’ before rejoining the main track towards the Golf Balls and retracing your outward journey. About 4 miles. Race 3, Trail Race , about 5 miles along the trails around Clowbridge Reservoir. Weather permitting, there will be children’s (junior) races along the flat trail by the reservoir. So that we can give even more support to Mo Laney’s Malawi Appeal, there will be an entry fee: £5 for an individual race; £10 for the series – a bargain! After Sunday’s Trail Race, there will be a series presentation and social event at the Bull & Butcher Pub, Manchester Road. On Sunday afternoon the pub serves traditional roast dinners, as well as Indian meals. We are hoping that the weekend of running will be as big a success as the Barley Relays of the last two years. This will only happen if plenty of members turn up and run. We have tried to select a venue, races and times that will be convenient for members, so please come along, bring the family to watch (and join in). Pendle and Burnley Grand Prix There are four Grand Prix races in June: Saturday, 6 th June, the Kelbrook Fell Race is a short (3 mile), sharp lung-burster, with 700’ of ascent. The race starts outside the church and you charge up the road (hopefully avoiding the parked cars), which steepens before you turn off onto a farm track. A sharp right turn takes you onto the moor, and you continue to climb to a wall corner where a marshal invites you to plunge down a steep bank (good studs needed in the wet). It’s then across a couple of fields, ford the stream and climb a steep, slippery bank before tackling the lane back to the village, which always seems much further than you remember. Friday, 12 th June, Barley Fell Race is a bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, as about two of its five miles are on tarmac. Starting in Barley Village Centre, you run up the Downham Road for a mile, to the lane which leads to Pendle House. From here you take the left-hand track onto Pendle, before turning sharp right and heading for the summit. Rounding the trig you retrace your route, before descending to Buttock Farm and joining the Ogden track for the sprint to the finish outside the Village Hall, where Neil W will reluctantly tell you about the time he once won this race! Sunday, 21 st June, the Burnley Boys’ Club 10K is a three-lap, road/canal towpath race from Barden Lane Track. After a rapid lap of the track, you run down Barden Lane, over the canal bridge before turning left onto Lower Manor Lane. After about a quarter of a mile downhill, you again turn sharp left and go quite steeply uphill towards the canal, where you hope that you have to queue at the barrier to get your breath back. After 100m on the towpath, you cross the bridge, run up the lane and round the back of the new schools, to arrive back at the entrance to the track. Only another two laps to go! Sunday, 28 th June, the Trawden 7 starts at Trawden Recreation Ground, high above the village. After racing round the field you run along narrow lanes, downhill to Laneshawbridge, before turning right onto the road towards Haworth. After an initial climb and flat section, there is a long, long uphill, steep in parts. Once you have reached the top, at the old Herders Inn, there is still about a mile of road before you turn off down quite a rough track initially, that leads through the picturesque Wycoller valley. After crossing the ford or bridge in the hamlet there is a deceptively long, gradual climb back to the Rec, for a wobbly-legged run round the field to the finish.

Medic Malawi gained an extra £450 from the day- £200 from the race proceeds, £200 from the raffle and £50 from the pub. Fantastic! With my personal gains it was a very profitable day!!! Thank you to everyone who ran and bought tickets. My sponsorship for 3 Peaks is going very well. To date, I have raised over £800 and hope to top £1000 when I catch the rest of my sponsors! In total I have banked £2500 which is way beyond my expectations in November, when Paul and I discussed the charity idea. So many people have helped- John Roche is currently coaching his beginners to both improve their standard and raise money for Malawi. Garry is working on the Whalley Nab race at present to add to the charity coffers. I have been overwhelmed by the kindness of everyone and the children in Malawi will love the new classroom/s that you have helped build for them. Eleanor is going over there in June so she can report on the amazing generosity of both Clayton Harriers, St. Wilfrid's School and all my other sponsors. Thank you all and keep on training .Whalley Nab is a fabulous place to visit in August!!!

  • 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.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.
