Re: Removing The Lamp
They're talking about moving the lamp across the road to the Jubilee gardens. Think the idea is so that it would become a centre point and people would be more likely to see it. Got to admit I'm a bit puzzled because it's a little bit like moving the North Pole or the flag on the moon - the point with the lamp is that 'x' marks the spot. It's not really the lamp that matters, it's where it is that matters.
Oswaldtwistle Area Council have it on tonights agenda to discuss. |

Re: Removing The Lamp
the one they put there in 1970, they put it in front of the library where the original gas lamp used to be,anyone who lived above the lamp was more than likely to work down the pit. Them who lived below the lamp worked in textile!they nicknamed them above the lamp gobbiners,so if you live past the library you are a gobbiner.

Re: Removing The Lamp
Yes, I went along. A lady Nichola Cook from the Regeneration Team presented the new positioning of the lamp (Jubilee Gardents) and then PB asked everyone what we thought. He stressed at that point that none of the Council had expressed an opinion. Not unsurprisingly public opinion was against moving the lamp. Then the councillors all said that they too agreed and were not in favour. Doesn't look like it will happen! It was also mentioned that they should make a feature of the existing lamp in its current site - the land is owned by Lancashire County Council and not HBC, so the Area Council is now going to write the LCC and ask them to do something.
