Firstly a May Queen had to be chosen; at the dance held in the Albion Hall in March 1947 there were 22 entries, from whom Miss Margaret Halstead was selected. (She is the mother of local joiner and undertaker Martin Foster). Her attendants were to be Joan Crewdson, Vera Greenwood, Vera Butterworth, Joan Greenwood, Netta Hargreaves and Joyce Blackey. Page Boys and Sherwood Foresters were also to be in attendance on the day, before which a programme of events was drawn up. The first souvenir programme fea- tured a depiction of Earby’s Old Grammar School, the first of many interesting frontpieces. May 3rd brought sleet, rain and high winds to Earby, and owing to the state of the field at the Recreation Ground off Skipton Road, several of the planned activities were cur- tailed. The celebrations began with a procession starting at Linden Road and headed by Earby Prize Brass Band. There followed an assortment of tableaux, children in fancy dress and decorated horses. The first prize in the decorated horses section went to AJ Birleys of Albion Mill. On the Rec, Mrs Drayson, wife of the local MP, performed the crowning cere- mony and praised the Festival Committee for their success in reviving old traditional May festivities. There was maypole and country dancing, accompanied by the Band, a safety first display and a show by the Craven Motor Club. The day concluded with dancing until 11.45 to the Troubadours Band in the Albion Hall, the admission to which was 2/6d. The Craven Herald reported one year later that Margaret Halstead had been a credit to the town, undertaking numerous engagements involving public speaking. Margaret had been surprised at what she had learnt and said “You may think you can’t do a thing but when the time comes and you have to, then you find you can”. The management and em- ployees of Johnsons Fabrics Ltd, where Miss Halstead was on the office staff, presented her with a weekend case to mark the end of a successful reign. 1st May 1948 heralded a fine day for the crowning of Miss Netta Hargreaves. The 6d souvenir programme was decorated with flowers, and ten tableaux formed the backbone of the procession. Sunday and day schools were represented along with the Allotment Holders Association and Kelbrook Young Farmers Club who used a model cow to represent their theme. A Bonnie Babies tableau was entered by the Food Office and trade displays by local Margaret Halstead Netta Hargreaves 2 Earby Chronicles firms played a prominent part in the procession. The new May Queen and her retinue wore silk dresses made from material woven by Newbridge Mill in Earby. Children from the mod- ern school, conducted by Miss Millicent Turner, sang a selection of songs before and after the crowning, whilst Barnoldswick Brass Band accompanied a large scale maypole dance performed in front of the new May Queen. A safety demonstration was staged by West Rid- ing Police and the evening was rounded off with a whist drive and dancing to Les Rhodes and his band in the Albion Hall. Pauline Hands Betty Priestley The merry month of May 1949 saw Miss Betty Priestley crowned Queen, assisted by her retinue, page boys and Sherwood Foresters. The chairman of the Festival Committee was Bert Cross with secretary Dick Shaw, and the Festival Committee continued with their aim in 1950 to revive the merriment of old time May festivals. In medieval days May Day had been kept as a great public holiday. It was a festival to celebrate the return of Spring, with maypole dancing, crowning of the May Queen, with hobby horses, archers and other lively festivities. Miss Pauline Hands was Earby’s May Queen and the event attracted the usual large crowd. EARBY 100 YEARS AGO 1913 Information gleaned from Craven Herald by Stephanie Carter January It is proposed to form a Dickens Society with Mr S V Heap as president; membership to be limited to 25. To celebrate the birth of Dickens on 7th February a dinner is to be held in Loth- ersdale. To celebrate the opening of the Premier Tent (Earby) of the Independent Order of Rechabites a social was held in Coronation Hall. Brother William Pawson presided over a splendid attendance and a capital programme was gone through – songs, recitations and addresses on the work of the Order. Mr Amos Nelson who resides at the Manor and is a well known Nelson manufacturer, when motoring home on Saturday evening found the road between Thornton and Earby impass- able, the snow having drifted in places. The car became stuck and had to be abandoned and Mr Nelson proceeded home on foot. Co-operative tea and concert A tea promoted by the Earby Industrial Co-operative Society was held in the Coronation 3 Earby Chronicles Hall. About 250 sat down to tea after which a capital concert was given by The Western Op- eratic Concert Company. Councillor D Aldridge, president of the Society, presided over an attendance of about 400 persons. Successful year at Conservative Club and the Baptist At Homes reported. On Sunday morning several wagons were derailed at Earby station with both main lines be- ing blocked. The breakdown gang from Skipton was notified and after several hours hard work the lines were cleared. Farewell sermon by Rev C W Townsend, Baptist minister, who leaves for Burnley. February “The erstwhile little village of Earby is rapidly blossoming into a thriving industrial centre. A few decades ago it was a quiet village with a few hundred inhabitants – “far from the mad- ding crowd” - and excepting that it was the junction for a “city” named “Barlick”, it was sel- dom heard of. Now it has 6000 inhabitants, most of whom have tastes out of the ordinary, and is governed by a go-ahead Urban District Council. Political clubs housed in palatial premises represent the three great parties – Liberal, Conservative and Labour. A Naturalists Society, whose members are clever and enthusiastic, and various religious bodies with nu- merous loyal adherents almost complete the tale – and yet a few of the men “of light and leading” and of literary tastes got together recently and formed a Dickens Society with Mr S V Heap as president, and Mr Willie Watson , elocutionist and raconteur, as secretary. Saturday last was set aside for an inaugural banquet at the Cross Keys Inn. “The Immortal memory of Dickens” toast was proposed by the president in an eloquent speech…” General ‘urposes Committee of Earby UDC agreed to the purchase, with the help of public subscriptions, of a new fire engine from London – a second hand machine from Messrs Shand, Mason & Co for £225. Annual distribution of certificates and medallions by Earby Ambulance & Nursing Division by Mrs Birley at Albion Hall. Inspection of Earby Ambulance Division Royal Naval Sick Berth Reserve at New Road School by Inspector General R W G Steward RN on behalf of the Admiralty – 15 members in charge of S V Heap.

March Mr S V Heap admitted to Hon Serving Brother of Order of Hospital of St John of Jerusalem. Wesley Guild Easter outing The sun was shining pleasantly as the members of the Wesley Guild assembled at the sta- tion at 9.00am on Easter Saturday. The party of 53 journeyed by train to Bell Busk, after- wards walking through Airton and Kirkby Malham. They climbed up Kirkby Fell and Rye Loaf Point which were partly covered in snow. Descending into the valley they had a walk of four or five miles before reaching Settle. Rain descended about 4.00pm and there was a constant downpour all evening. The party had tea served at Hoyle’s Temperence Hotel, and afterwards held a social hour together.

    IN MEMORIAM Dr. Judith Freedman UDITH Freedman, who died in London on 20 December 2009, was for fifty years associated with the production of the Jewish Journal Jof Sociology, which her husband Professor Maurice Freedman had helped establish half a century earlier and which served and serves as the vehicle for the dissemination of high-quality research into problems of social formation, ethnic identity and demography amongst Jews both of the diaspora and of Israel. Dr Freedman was herself a scholar of international repute. Born into the large and well-connected Djamour family in Egypt on 22 September 1921, she was educated at the University of Cairo and at the London School of Economics, where she completed her doctoral research. This investigation, focussing on issues of kinship and matri- mony within the Malay community of Singapore, resulted in two influ- ential monographs, Malay Kinship & Marriage in Singapore and The Muslim Matrimonial Court in Singapore. Her professional interest in the social anthropology of south-east Asia had brought her into contact with a fellow researcher in this field, Maurice Freedman, late of the Royal Artillery. The couple were married in London in 1946. She collaborated with Sir Raymond Firth (her doctoral supervisor, Professor of anthropology at LSE and one of the founders of modern social anthropology) in his researches into issues of family and kinship in a south London borough. Maurice, mean- while, had returned to LSE as a lecturer, succeeding Firth as Professor of anthropology there in 1965. Five years later Maurice moved to Oxford, where, on the retirement of Sir Edward Evans-Pritchard, he had been elected to its prestigious chair of social anthropology, and to an All Souls fellowship.

  • 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.

  • 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.
