Well, I'm off this afternoon to a 'stroll' around Ribchester, headed by Colin Cunliffe ... a member of the Ribchester Local History Society.

Meet at the toilets on the car park in the centre of the village at 2.p.m.
Some field walking involved, so decent footwear.

The next walk will be headed by Albert Wilkinson, entitled 'Hidden corners of Oswaldtwistle' on Sunday, August 21st at 2 p.m. Meet at the Oswaldtwistle War Memorial. Will remind you nearer the date. :D

How can they be hidden if this fella knows where they are ? :D

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

An excellent , informative walk this afternoon, conducted by an enthusiastic 'Ribber' There's far more than the Romans to interest an inquisitve mind here.

Can't think of an intelligent answer to that ... oh yeh, don't be so pedantic ... http://planetsmilies.net/violent-smiley-1393.gif

Agree, didn't realise they invented cement .. thought was some guy in Clitheroe.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

Lets be honest here, if there up ossy,they should be kept hidden.:D

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

Just a nudge that this is on Sunday, time and meeting place as above:

'There is a walk guide available (50p) and hopefully we will be visiting some places of interest, including some not normally seen from public paths.
Bring along suitable clothing and footwear. This is a leisurely walk, not a route march ! The first part is uphill and then level or downhill for the remainder.'

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

Do you know how long the walk will be ? I am bringing someone along
with me.
thanks

Are you hoping to be pelted with rotten fruit and veg, the next time you pop up to Ossy post office?

:D

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

Good question, Mariam ... Albert hasn't given any indication, however, doubt whether it will be longer than 2 hours though. Depends on how many questions or interest he gets along the way I suppose.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

Thanks Katex - it'll be fine.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

The walk was fascinating - we really enjoyed it all. Hope there will be more.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

A really interesting walk, many thanks to Albert also Katex for informing us about the walk.

Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.
 

Kate, I hope you enjoy, but to me, who is interested in LOCAL history, that subject I am afraid would NOT tempt me out of doors, as much as I would like to support the History Society. Sorry.
