The day finished with a whist drive and ball in the Albion Hall, with dancing to the Regal Dance Band. 2 Earby Chronicles How the people of Earby joined in the fun of those May Days of long ago! Processions were long and varied and new novelties were introduced on the field. 1953 was Coronation Year, when Catherine Lancaster was crowned on 30 th May, with the celebrations continuing for a week. These included an open air dance, church services, children’s sports and tea, aged people’s tea and concert, cricket match, fancy dress ball, a presentation of Blithe Spirit, and a monster whist drive and presentation ball in the Albion Hall with the Skyliners Band. Miss Millicent Turner wrote the introductory remarks in the 1954 programme on the theme the Merry Month of May, and she urged people to enjoy the simple pleasures of life and forget cares and worries. A tug-of-war competition was inaugurated, with teams from George Prestons, Rolls Royce and Carlsons taking on the Liverpool Police and a team from Kellogs Manchester. The crowds were also entertained by a canine troupe of alsations. Maypole dancing, the pipe band and tug-of-war were the simple pleasures which be- came regular features of the May Day celebrations. The Grand Challenge Cup for tug-of- War was open to all mills, workshops and other organisations within a ten mile radius of Earby and was very popular. In 1957 the Columbines, Earby’s Morris Dancing Troupe were a feature of the annual highlight, as was the great balloon race. The day always concluded at the Albion Hall with a whist drive and grand ball. TUDAY I GO ON HOLLYDAY by Ken Ranson The excitement grew and grew, as day by day the days were ticked-off on the calen- dar, until the morning arrived when I woke up, jumped out of bed and dashed to the calen- dar, and there it was, written in my eight-year-old’s writing in very large capital letters "TUDAY I GO ON HOLLYDAY." Mum and dad were woken up, and younger brother, not yet four, was prodded into life (an event that, fifty-seven years later, he still reminds me of). And so the day began of the most exciting week of a young lad's life. For year after year holidays meant a week in North Wales in a wooden bungalow, on a holiday site a stone's throw away from the sea, beyond the most wonderful sand dunes, accompanied by grandma and granddad (whom I think paid for it). The large sturdy suitcase packed, dad would check his wallet (once again) to ensure that the large white, five-pound note was still there that had taken all year to save up and the short walk from the estate where I lived (known affectionately as The Ranch) to the rail- way station, was made. I stood on the platform as near to the edge as I dare (or my mum would let me), neck craning, watching for the train to appear in the distance. And there it was! Smoke billowing into the sky, the clickety-click sound of the wheels on the track and the majestic beast ground slowly to a halt in front of me. My heart thumping I climbed the steep step into the train, a posh train, it had a corridor and a toilet! The suitcase was put, with a certain amount of struggling, onto the luggage rack and all were seated, me next to the window, so I could look out and devour every minute of the trip, and my brother (already asleep) on my mum's lap. The guard waved his green flag, blew his whistle and the train, with a great deal of 3 Earby Chronicles hissing of steam and blowing of whistle, slowly left the station but within minutes was going at full speed. Five minutes into the journey, under the pretence of wanting a wee, I went ex- ploring. At each end of every carriage was a door and the window could be let down with a leather strap, this was duly done and the exhilaration of sticking my head out and letting the steam from the engine flow across my face told me that my holiday had started. It wasn't until many years later, as an adult, that I discovered how long the journey took, for the moment I fell asleep was the same instance that my mum shook me awake saying "we're here," and mysteriously my grandma and granddad were now sitting across from me. With dad carrying the large suitcase and mum carrying my brother and gripping my hand tightly, a slow progress through the thronged station was made until, finally, we all stood slightly bewildered outside the railway station. "Taxi!" shouted dad and within minutes we were on our way to our final destination, "hour hollyday." After what seemed an eternity the taxi pulled off the main road, drove along a small lane, over a bridge across the railway line (I was asleep when the train went under this bridge) and there, stretching for miles, were the most amazing sand dunes, almost desert- like, they seemed to carry on forever. The taxi slowly drove along a rough rutted track which ran parallel with the dunes, (alongside of which were dozens of caravans, chalets, converted railway carriages etc) until it stopped outside a large green wooden bungalow, which was to be my home for the next week. Our accommodation was a wooden bungalow which, judging by the other ones around, it was quite posh. A short distance from it was a little wooden shed, which, to my amusement, was the toilet, a chemical toi- let, which at varying periods of time was carried by two adults (names drawn out of a hat) as far away from the bungalow as possible, a large hole dug (hopefully not in the same place as last weeks) and the contents dis- posed of. At all the crossroads of the tracks throughout the site was a water stand-pipe. Granddad used to take me to help him fill and carry a bucket of water.

  • 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.
