Re: POLITICS CORNER
I've been listening to Keir Starmer wooing his Labour supporters in Scotland. I wonder if any of them remember the way Tony Blair's New Labour treated Scotland. At the time it was described as regarding the Scottish Labour Party as a regional office. If Starmer is clearly anything he is a Blairite. ...

Peter, they have to get as many sensible people neutralised as soon as possible! See THIS for what many believe is the reason Sunak called the election early.

Your weather certainly looks better than ours, the CH has been on! Today we are promised 11C.

The Bracewell Brothers of Coates. William (b1756) of Coates is mentioned in 1808 as ‘calico manufacturer’ of Barnoldswick so I think we are safe in assuming he built the water twist mill at Old Coates. His son William (b.1782) seems to have gone to Barrowford to live in his wife’s community on his m...
