Beginning with a series of oral histo ry recordings of former Courtaulds Ltd employees, students considered their own connections to themes around migration and textiles heritage, thinking about what it might have been like to work in the textiles factories in the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

The operator, Wyre Ma rine, are forecasting that the service will continue to lose money, due to increasing costs and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic when the service was unable to run, therefore it has been agreed that Lancashire County Council and Wyre Council will increase their financial support for the ser vice for the next four years.

"As High Sheriff of Lancashire, I was ap pointed by Her Majesty through her role as the Duke of Lancaster, and it's been a great honour to serve her.
"Her Majesty was well known to have had a great affection for Lancashire, particularly the Forest of Bowland, and she visited our county on many occasions, most latterly to commemorate the 750th anniversary of the Duchy of Lancaster, when she visited Lancaster and Myerscough in 2015.
It is with the deepest sadness and respect that Lancashire's leaders remember Her Majesty Queen Eliza beth II, our Queen and The Duke of Lancaster today.

fortunate that in Lancashire we could also call her our Duke. Her Majesty has had a very special place in the hearts and lives of so many people here. Her passing will be even more deeply mourned locally because of her long devotion to, and interest in, the North West of England.
"People always turned up in their thou sands to welcome The Queen, reflecting the enormous respect and affection that people held for her across Lancashire.
"Her Majesty will be very deeply missed by so many people who looked up to her, and continue to look up to her, as an excep tional Monarch and a glorious example to us all."

The note was discovered earlier this year, when the roof vent on top of the Har ris building needed some repair work. Liaising with a structural engineer and a timber repair specialist, the team at UCLan worked to save the vent, the original oak structure of which dates all the way back to 1896. More than a century ago, the vent supplied fresh air via a series of internal wooden ducts to the upper rooms: while it’s no longer used for this purpose, it remains an

To restore the historic Harris spire back to its orig inal glory, the UCLan team had to painstakingly remove sections of timber from the vent, working on each face of the octagonal structure one at a time. Local joinery company Ashton’s Joinery took measurements and cre ated templates for machin ing new pieces. The whole structure was then stripped back to timber, undercoat ed and repainted, and new lead work was added where required before the roof was cleaned and the scaffold removed. The vent is now back to looking as it would have done when James Pierce and Joseph Gregson first worked on it all those years ago.
Future P-roofing: repair works on historic UCLan building reveals hidden piece of the past
It was once the team had stripped back the existing structure that the historic note was found. Signed by James Pierce and Joseph Gregson, along with the date, the note included a very British observation about the weather, stating it was on ‘a cold, frosty morn ing’ that the two local men tucked it away, likely never imagining it would be un earthed many decades later. Even more fascinating, the joiners left their memento on the back of an old raffle ticket, and the list of prizes makes for interesting read ing: from a rope of onions, to a leg of mutton and even a pair of trousers made to measure!TheHarris building offi cially opened in 1897 – the same year as Queen Victo ria’s Diamond Jubilee - and was originally known as the Victoria Jubilee Technical School.

A monastery can be a single building or, indeed, a collection of buildings that have living quarters and also places to work, for monks or nuns and usually a place for prayer – possibly a chapel or church, for example. Self-sufficient monasteries can include a school, plus agricultural aspects, manufacturing facilities, plus other activities and pursuits, too. Mount Saint Bernard Abbey is located near Coalville, Leices tershire. This Roman Catholic Trappist monastery was established during 1835. The Abbey Church is dedicated to the Greater Glory of God and recorded as being in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Bernard.

Windermere lake, at 10.5 miles long, one mile wide and 220 feet deep, is the largest natural lake in both the Lake District and in England, and is fed by numerous rivers. Strictly speaking, Windermere lake is just called Winder”mere”, with “mere” meaning a lake that is broad in relation to its depth. However here, to avoid confusion with Windermere Village, we refer to it as Windermere lake.

Wherever you choose to stay you will find a great selection of excellent attractions to visit nearby. And for the adventurous, the outdoor activity industry in the Windermere lake area offers almost every imaginable opportunity. Bowness-on-Windermere is on the east shore and the busiest tourist destination in the Lake District. Ambleside, at the northern tip of the lake, is also very popular with visitors. Newby Bridge at the south end of the lake is slightly less well known and consequently a little quieter. However it also has plenty of accommodation and attractions. It is connected to the lake cruises route via a short journey on the steam railway. Other popular visitor destinations around Windermere lake are the delightful Coniston, Rydal & Grasmere villages. These all have their own smaller lakes of the same names. Hawkshead, Sawrey and Troutbeck and the majestic Langdales are all close by. Visitor Centres in the Lake District &

Cumbria is home to the English Lake District and is a predominantly rural county, considered one of the most beautiful regions of the UK. Cumbria includes the whole of the Lake District, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, also known as The Lakes or Lakeland, the Eden Valley, the North Pennines, the Furness Peninsula, and part of the Yorkshire Dales.
The long thin lake itself forms the central spine of the Windermere lake area of the Lake District. This area is also known as the South Bowness-on-WindermereLakes.

CONWY CASTLE
with private chambers and a royal chapel, it is very easy to imagine how Conwy functioned when the royal entourage were in town.
Harlech castle is built on what is said to be the oldest rock in the world. It was impenatrable in its day due to its location. Originally it would have been white as it was painted in limestone. The new visitors centre is a wealth of further infomation.‘Men of Harlech.’ The nation’s unofficial anthem, loved by rugby fans and regimental bands alike, is said to describe the siege which took place here during the War of the Roses, wherein a handful of men held out against a besieging army of thousands. Edward’s tried and tested ‘walls within walls’ model was put together in super-fast time between 1283 and 1295 by an army of nearly a thousand skilled craftsmen and labourers.Edward liked to use only the best masons from Savoy and England’s finest carpenters and blacksmiths. At the time this was one of the

The lure of water and easy access to the sea made the banks of the River Seiont an ideal spot for Edward’s monster in masonry. Edward wasn’t one to miss an opportunity to tighten his grip even further on the native population. The birth of his son, the first English Prince of Wales, in the castle in 1284, was a perfect device to stamp his supremacy. In 1969, the investiture of the current Prince of Wales, HRH Prince Charles took place

Built for Edward I, by Master James of St George, the castle is amongst the finest surviving medieval fortifications in Britain. In a word, exceptional. You can’t fault it, from the grandeur of its high towers and curtain walls to its excellent state of preservation. An estimated £15,000 was spent building the castle, the largest sum Edward spent in such a short time on any of his Welsh castles between 1277 and 1307. Money well spent. Two barbicans (fortified gateways), eight massive towers and a great bow-shaped hall all sit within its distinctive elongated shape, due in part to the narrow rocky outcrop on which the castle stands. You won’t find Edward’s concentric ‘walls within walls’ here. They weren’t needed. The rock base was enough security in itself. Some say it is the most magnificent of Edward I’s Welsh fortresses. To get the full picture, head for the battlements. Breathtaking views across mountains and sea. If the outside impresses (and it will), wait until you go in. With an outer ward containing a great hall, chambers and kitchen, and a more secluded inner ward
CAERNARFON CASTLE
Built in the 1280 by Edward I, Caernarfon is the largest castle in the area and does not disappoint. Having included all the mod cons for its day like toilets, running water and glass in the windows, this vast building is spectatuclar. A brute of a fortress. Caernarfon Castle’s pumped-up appearance is unashamedly muscle-bound and intimidating. Picking a fight with this massive structure would have been a daunting prospect. By throwing his weight around in stone, King Edward I created what is surely one of the most impressive of Wales’s castles. Worthy of World Heritage status no less. Most castles are happy with round towers, not Caernarfon! Polygonal towers were the order of the day, with the Eagle Tower being the most impressive of these. You will also note the colour-coded stones carefully arranged in bands. The site of this great castle wasn’t

boat up to the moat. Seven hundred years later, the sea has receded and you could say the castle appears almost stranded, waiting for the tide to turn once more. The newly installed ‘floating’ bridge at Harlech Castle makes access to the castle truly available for all. The bridge connects the castle with the brand new visitor centre in the former Castle Hotel building.
It is said to be one of the most beautiful of his castles. In terms of design and finish, the castle was super high-tech for its time with the ‘walls within walls’ features. Dare we say it, an absolute cracker of a castle with classic proportions and perfect symmetry. The last hurrah of Edward I’s massive building programme in north Wales… just a shame he never got round to finishing it!
You can usually complain if a neighbour’s extension plans are a bit on the large side.
Seven centuries ago the problem was resolved rather differently. The population of Llanfaes was forcibly moved 12 miles (19km) away to Newborough to make way for Edward’s new castle.
With finances stretched to the limit and the Scots now increasingly effective in their resistance to the English monarch, his vicelike grip on Wales was beginning to slip.
a headland with the sea as its constant bedfellow. Its twin-towered gatehouse intimidates prospective attackers.
So badly did the native Welsh princes and English monarchs want it, that it changed hands more often than a relay baton.
It was impregnable from almost every angle. Its secret weapon was a 200-foot (61m) long stairway which still leads from the castle to the cliff base. Access via the stairway to the sea and crucial supplies kept the castle’s besieged inhabitants fed and watered. When it was first built, a channel would have connected the castle and the sea. You could have sailed a

This was to be the last major Welsh rebellion against the English. Criccieth Castle may also have given the name to the town rather than the other way round. Its suggested origins are ‘crug caeth’ – ‘crug’ (hill in Welsh), ‘caith’ (captives) – the name given to the jail on the hill, a function once held by the castle. Buy an ice-cream, there’s a lot of history to digest.
Built originally by Llywelyn the Great, this very Welsh of princes included a very English style of gatehouse. Edward I’s forces took the castle some 50 years later, undertook their own improvements and remodelled a tower for stone-throwing engines.

getting an upgrade is to tell everyone that you’re on your honeymoon! It’s important to do this at the right time though. Telling businesses
Of course, before you even get to this stage you need to decide on where to go! If you’re at a loss for ideas, other than knowing that you want the A-list treatment, then take a leaf out of @ RocknRollBride’s book. She says that ‘If you’re looking to really go all out on your honeymoon, to have a once in a lifetime experience and to truly live it up like a rock star, then the Maldives has to be top of your list.’
that you’re going on your honeymoon when you make the booking tends to hike the prices up. So, you’re better off waiting until you hit the runway to mention that you’re newly-weds on honeymoon. If you’re staying in a hotel then mention at check-in that you’re on your honeymoon and ask if there are any honeymoon suites available for you to upgrade to or if there is anything they can do for you to help make your honeymoon more memorable.

Then as you go about making your precious memories whilst you are away, you need to keep speaking up. Tell everyone you meet that you’re there on your honeymoon. You never know, it might lead to a couple of free glasses of champagne over dinner at any of the restaurants you might visit! The same can be said for any activities, excursions or day trips that you intend to do whilst you’re away. Live like an A-lister
Getting married isn’t just about going on honeymoon, but it sure is an exciting plus to the whole shebang! But how do you go about milking the special occasion for all its worth? Everyone loves an upgrade and if you can’t get one when you’re going on your honeymoon then when can you? It’s the perfect opportunity to be pampered and spoiled, especially after all the stress of the wedding planning is over.
There are so many moments where you might be able to wangle an upgrade when you go on honeymoon. The first is the flight.

A FANTASTIC DRINKS INITIATIVE IS THE ANSWER TO A MEMORABLE DAY
If they are not local, choosing a venue that is easily accessible, has accommodation on site or hotels in close proximity is desirable. If you have guests coming from abroad how far is the closest international airport? These factors may play a role in your decision making. Is the capacity right for you?
Make a list of your non-negotiable's. Before viewing any venues sit down with your partner and discuss any non-negotiable's these could include: Budget – will the venue be able to provide everything you need within your budget, is VAT included in the price, are staff gratuities added and if so are they optional? Catering – What type of cuisine would you like? Can the venue provide Suppliersthis?– do you have artistic friends that want to bake the cake or take the photographs? If so check the venue will permit this or do you need to use their recommended suppliers?
Ask about the flow of the day Make sure the venue representative talks you through how a typical day runs. The flow of the day is crucial, any long pauses or
Finding the perfect venue is likely to be at the top of any newly engaged couples list. With the venue playing a vital role in the success of your day it’s the big decision you really need to get right. Just like viewing a new property it is easy to become overexcited and fall in love with a place without checking the venue can cater to your requirements, so hitched.co.uk are here to answer that question - how to choose a wedding venue?
Wait until you get the feeling
Also ask, what set up time is included in the hire fee, when will your suppliers have access to the room and when do things need to be Thinkcollected?aboutthe lighting. Lighting plays an important part in any event, if your ceremony is during the day does the room
have lots of natural daylight? During the evening do they provide/ let you bring in Camerascandles? will be a big part of your day so practise your smiles! Bearing this in mind what is the surrounding area around your venue like? Where will your photographs be? If you are looking at a central town hall where will you take outdoor photographs? The view from the venue and any outdoor space is also a massive plus not only for photographs but for your guests enjoyment. Does the venue have grounds or ample outdoor space – this is useful if you have children attending and for guests to stretch their legs for ten minutes after the reception meal. Check the finer details.
Fireworks, sparklers, flame eaters etc. – if you have any different entertainment ideas check your venue will allow it. Finding your venue will be one of the big milestones in your wedding planning and will determine your date, location and therefore will impact a lot of your other wedding planning decisions. You may even want to consider finding a wedding dress that perfectly suits your venue.
At the venue viewing stage you will not know every detail of your day however you must ask the venue what is not permitted…. If you envisage a romantic candlelit winter ceremony check the venue permits candles! If you are having your ceremony at the same venue can you throw confetti?
Think about whether you need a large capacity wedding venue or a smaller and more intimate wedding venue. The size of the venue is just as important, too small for your number of guests and the room will feel stuffy and overcrowded, too big and guests will feel lost and the space will feel cold. When a space is empty it is hard to imagine how it will look when filled with tables. For this reason we would always advise viewing a venue when it is set up for a wedding. If this is not possible ask to see photographs, most venues should have a photo book or slide-show. Another tip is to ask for a seating plan of the room at capacity, this will give you a good idea of how much space there is and how comfortably your guests numbers will fit.
Finding these details out early in the planning stage before you book is essential, you are likely to have an idea of what your day will be like and the venue needs to be able to live up to this, for this reason write a list of…..

HOW TO CHOOSE A WEDDING VENUE: WHAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER
delays and your guests will become bored. If your ceremony and reception is in the same room how long does the turnaround take, where will the guests be and what will they be doing? This is also relevant between the reception meal and the evening dancing. The weather in the UK can be unpredictable to say the least! If it does rain does the venue have indoor space for the reception drinks? Do they provide a master of ceremonies/ manager? This takes the stress off you and is the best way to make sure all your guests are where they are meant to be at all times. Check the timings. Planning the time of your ceremony is a big decision; when do the venue advise? In our experience weddings of 8-9 hours work well, any longer than this and the atmosphere dwindles towards the end, you want your wedding to end on a high! Also bear in mind where the majority of people will be coming from on the day, leave plenty of time for people to get ready and arrive.
Much like finding your dress, the shoes, a new home, it is true that when you view venues you will know if it is right for you. You need to be able to picture yourself there on the day and ensure the style of the building both exterior and interior will work with the theme of your wedding. Finding the right venue in our opinion is the most important factor, once you fall in love with somewhere before rushing in to anything at the very least check the following match your criteria: Is it the right Wherelocation?will your guests be coming from?
Live music – if you would like a band does the venue permit this? If you would like a string quartet during reception drinks do the venue allow music outside?

If someone dies at home unexpectedly Call 111 immediately and ask for advice. An unexpected death may need to be re ported to a coroner. A coroner is a doctor or lawyer responsible for investigating unex pected deaths. They may call for a post-mor tem or inquest to find out the cause of death. This may take some time, so the funeral may need to be delayed.
If someone dies abroad, register the death according to the regulations of the country. Register it with the British Consul in the country too, so you can get a consulate death certificate and a record can be kept in the UK.
What do I need to do straight away? If the death was expected, for example due to a terminal illness, in most instances the doc tor will issue a medical certificate of the cause of death to allow the death to be registered at the Register Office.

The lung health check takes place in two stages. The first is an initial phone assess ment with a specially trained health care professional. If the assessment finds the per son to be at high risk, they are offered a low-dose CT scan of the lungs for further Chrisinvestigation. added:“The NHS Targeted Lung Health Check was simple, local to me in Rossendale and quick. To be given the all-clear is such a relief and has given me some much-needed reassurance. I would recommend anyone who is invited to take part to say yes. It might just save your life.”
Chris, who has not smoked a cigarette in over 40 years, was invited to take part in an initial phone assessment be fore being offered a low-dose CT scan which showed his lungs were in good working Chrisorder. said: “I haven’t smoked in decades, and I lead a very active life, swimming, walking and going to the gym. I did have a cyst in my lung over 20 years ago which resulted in part of my right lung being removed and I was concerned that I may develop further problems because of it. To have the opportunity to get my lungs checked was something I welcomed.”
A Rossendale man has spo ken of his relief at receiving a clean bill of health after being invited to take part in an NHS Targeted Lung Health ChrisCheck.Brown, 74, from Helmshore, jumped at the chance to take part in the free health check, described as an ‘MOT for your lungs’ when he was invited in July. The NHS Targeted Lung Health Check (TLHC) is cur rently available to current or former smokers in Rossen dale, Blackburn with Darwen and Blackpool aged between 55 and 74 in a bid to help diagnose more people with lung cancer earlier.
The TLHC programme in England has seen more than three-quarters (77 per cent) of cancers caught at either stage one or two, giving pa tients a much better chance of beating the illness. This compares to less than a third of cancers caught at either stage one or two in 2018. Lancashire and South Cum bria has one of the highest mortality rates for lung cancer in England and more than 17,000 people will be invited to take part in a lung health check in Rossendale

2. Upgrade your heating system
If you are looking to add value to your house, why not try out some home improvement upgrades?
In addition to increasing the value of your home, installing energy-saving insulation will also reduce your energy bills as well as ensure you’re minimising your carbon footprint. If you opt to insulate your loft or basement, this is a job that you can easily do yourself with a little bit of time and patience, but if you’re insulating your walls then we recommend you hire a professional to do it right. Another method of insulation is double glazing — double glaze your windows to further lock in warmth and add value to your home.
1. Add insulation
Next on our list of home improvement upgrades that add value is to upgrade your heating system.
Adding or upgrading your heating system is a failsafe way to add value to your home. You can do this with a few options, such as replacing windows (or add double glazing if possible, as mentioned in tip #1), seal any drafts around doors and windows or replace a boiler. If your existing boiler is due an upgrade and has passed the point of repair, then it’s a worthwhile investment to get a new boiler installed in your home.
It can be super exciting to embark on home improvement projects, but it’s even better when the upgrades you opt for add
value to your home. It’s worth bearing in mind, however, that some improvements might be worthwhile to you personally, they may not increase the value of the house to others. In this article, we’ll sum up our top five ways to add value to your home through improvements which you — and future buyers — will benefit
