Gosh.
Playing cricket for Slaidburn was pretty lovely
Even though we had to pick sheep Poo off the square when we showed up.
Nice bit of spin though!

Re: Lancashire Day
Well into Yorkshire. You dont meet the county boundary until the Rivers Hodder and Ribble join at Mitton Bridge which is many miles west of Gisburn. If I knew how I would post a photo of the bridge at Mitton with the Yorkshire/Lancashire inscriptions. What can’t speak can’t lie.CharlieinNewMexico wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 10:17 amNext you’re going to be telling me Gisburn is in Yorkshire!

Re: Lancashire Day
This merely reports the situation since local government reorganisation in 1974. Slaidburn lies within the historic West Riding of Yorkshire, alongside other places sequestrated against their wishes, like Barlick, Earby, Saddleworth etc.

Re: Lancashire Day
Happy Lancashire day,may your whippet always be fertile,your tripe tasty,your black pudding moist, your beer frothy, your hotpot flavour some, and your flat cap comfortable.
Favourite places Trough of Bowland,Crook of Lune, Chatburn, the walks around Gorple reservoir, Pendle hill,Hambledon hill.
Barley though is a sh1t hole to many cars.

The path from the bottom of Ightenhill Park Lane to the Stepping Stones bridge.
Sit on the bench just below the farm gate and take in the view across the valley to Pendle Hill, stunning.

Re: Lancashire Day
You can keep Slaidburn and Gisburn and I’ll trump you with the top of The Old Man of Coniston.
Our ancestors fought for these boundaries and pen pushing politicians took them from us, bastards.

Used to sit on the benches on the Hard Platts looking across at Pendle and think if this was in the south my 2 bedroom terrace would be £100k.

Re: Lancashire Day
I have a couple of Melling prints of Pendle in the front room. They followed me All over the world when I was in the army, and no matter where I was, it was right there in my front room. I just love seeing it.

Re: Lancashire Day
Barley may well be a bit crammed with cars these days, but I'd recommend it as a great base to park up for a leg stretch, or maybe exercise the dog. Take the deck chairs and enjoy a roadside picnic.bfcjg wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 10:34 amHappy Lancashire day,may your whippet always be fertile,your tripe tasty,your black pudding moist, your beer frothy, your hotpot flavour some, and your flat cap comfortable.

I'm amazed there aren't a few of those brown tourist roadsigns for Barley or Roughlee.

Re: Lancashire Day
Actually Lancashire included Derbyshire at its height and of course Cumbria was split between Lancashire and Northumberland. Palestine Lancashire was equal to The Ridings of York in six and larger in power.minnieclaret wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 10:57 amYou can keep Slaidburn and Gisburn and I’ll trump you with the top of The Old Man of Coniston.

Re: Lancashire Day
Exactly, but the likes of Oldham, Bolton still declare themselves as Lancashire, also where do LCC play, OT and Liverpool unless they play all their matches away from home still in our county palatine.

I remember saying to my Dad that Warrington was in Cheshire when talking about Neil Fairbrother. He didn't take too kindly to my comment.

Either the top of Pendle, or Old Trafford on a hot day watching the red rose with a pint.
