That seems to have stumped you! Remember the small cast iron key I posted which was used for tightening the fasteners used to join leather belts in the Mill? I came across one of the buttons the other day and that's what it is. Have a crack at this one: http://oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/gallery/image.p...

I watched the same programme Comrade. Good clear programme that rang true all the way through. Tragic the way we exploited those poor animals. But then the whole bloody war was tragic....

Plain tomato butty on home made bread with Heinz salad cream. Very refreshing..... Taste of summer.

The midwife who succeeded Edie (Was it Nurse Hunt?) took offence one night in 1962 as we were sat in the kitchen waiting for Vera to fall to pieces when I referred to her as the 'rabbit catcher'. Much boiling of water and burning parcels on the incinerator in the orchard. Those were the days!

Got the same flyer Kev. I can see that at some time in the future we'll have a topic in local history on the Supermarket War of 2012.

Time we had this back I think. Remploy factories are to go and the Tory lady says in PMQs that all the 1700 people who will lose their jobs have to do is go out and get new jobs. If it wasn't so tragic it would be laughable. The most vulnerable people in society suffer because of Political and finan...

Eileen, no problems with my teeth after pot gobbler insertion 53 years ago. Still got the same ones! Sue, glad to hear the Ladslove has survived. Thought about you last night as I sat in front of the fire with my feet being massaged by the UA3 Memorial foot spa. (it's a long story Kids if you are ba...

David, 'foreigner' has always been the description I have known. I think I heard 'homer' in the Midlands around 1970.

I'm afraid that like a lot of other people I have gone numb over Afghanistan. We should never have been in there and the deaths at present are solely due to the 'leaders' trying to massage their exit strategy. All the evidence is that the area falls to pieces as soon as troops come out and then they...

They should look at what is happening in the real world. God alone knows how ordinary people run cars these days. Got a shock this morning when CH kicked in while I was in the bathroom (The boiler is in there). Then I realised it was the auto run that kicks in occasionally to make sure the fan and p...

Any piece of 'good news' is welcome at the moment. Pensions go up but when you look at the real inflation of necessities which is about 10/15% we are marking time. The Coalition is holding its breath and treading water until they get a clear idea of how the EU debacle is going to pan out. One could ...

Eileen, almost certainly Wheathead at Blacko. SD845420. I haytimed there in the 1950/60s when Hargreaves had it.

They're still out there Bodge. They just need triggering off again. SC has been such a big topic in the past and it may need a bot of help to get it going again. Earth to demo men and jacks!

DIXON INDEX ENTRIES 08/03/12 1818 Crook and Dixon were partners in a brass and iron foundry near the junction of St James' and Bridge Streets in Burnley. (Bennett.

Not sure how the following fits in or if there are any clues. It was posted on the site in 2010. The original black text below is taken from OGFB web site. The alterations are to make it agree with the details in Frank Sellers (1880-1961) red note book. JOHN SELLERS 1792. (BROTHER GEORGE 1794)  Born...

Same here Brad, moon very bright. Glass up to just above 30". Clear sky, light breeze but still damp out there. Colder but no frost.

Thanks for the info, the way forward is clear.

Puzzling free sheet dropped theough the latter box yesterday. I've seen it before. Seems to originate in Clitheroe but no clear publisher information. I thought free newspapers were dead.

What strikes me is how influential your research has been of late. Wonderful!

Polished Bill's brass-work, lovely shine, it's obviously been kept clean over the years.

Didn't I read that the enhanced Foster's Arms service is to be 'Hail and Ride'? Knocks bus stop arguments on the head or do they ignore the 'Hail' at certain places?

Is it any coincidence that since Orang re-rated Barlick speeds I have been bombarded by BT and Talk-Talk with tempting offers of fast broadband? Needless to say, straight in the bin, I wait to see what Orange does at the end of May....

Couldn't last could it. Glass fallen to 29.5" overnight, wind has got up with heavy cold rain. February weather! Good writing day?

Piece on R4 as I write about rising oil prices, One presenter has just made bleeding obvious comment that it will affect the way we all live. I think we knew that.....

I did the same for my kids Wendy, made sure I left them some clues as to who their dad was! Good idea of Ian's, anything you post helps preserve the memory and trigger others. What OG is all about.
