Re: Booth Bridge farm and mill, Thornton in Craven.

There is a lot of confusion between Earby Mill and Booth Bridge Mill. We are pretty certain now that it was Earby Mill which was for sale with the 30ft wheel and new built dwelling house in 1814 following the fire.

Re: MEDICAL MATTERS

Many, many years ago Colin built an ioniser for my dad which was plugged in beside his bed and helped to clear his sinuses. It might be worth considering. I think it was a project in an early issue of Elektor magazine along with the magnetiser which Mum used to ease her arthritic pains for at least ...

Re: WW2 service records

Just for the record, the National Archives haven't asked for any money yet for my dads service records. The original deal from the MOD was £30.00 if they turned anything up, maybe its a different deal with the NA's, who knows? It could be that because the request was passed from pillar to post the ...

I was looking to see what I needed to do to apply for the records of the brother of one of my 'customers ' in Colne Library and I'm sure it said that the fee was being waived at the moment.

Re: MEDICAL MATTERS

We have a change in Colin's health and quality of life to report. When he was in hospital following his oesophagectomy the gastro intestinal nurses insisted that he added Metformin to the cocktail of diabetes drugs that he was already taking. In the past he had tried it and found it upset his digest...

Re: MEDICAL MATTERS

When I was in Colne Library this morning a lady came in trying to find over 75s who wanted a Covid vaccination as the Vaccination bus was in Colne but no-one seemed to know it was there. She said the uptake in Barnoldswick had been poor as well. No advertising by the NHS.

Well, not gunpowder tea, but badly crimped tea bags so that when I poured hot water into the mug they expanded, floated to the top and then went pop spraying tea powder out!!
