"2. A Plan of a Parcel of ground Purchased by mr Dehane to build a Cotton Mill

Does anyone know where " The Parrock" was?

I'd like to say thank you to the lady who knocked on my door to say her dog had pooped outside my house and she had tried to clean it up the best she could but I think the dog must have had an upset tummy. Had I not had a screaming 1 year old to deal with whilst making the tea and cleaning up I wouldn't have been as vague - anyway it only took a minute to clean up and thanks again for not just walking away!

CONGRATULATIONS To the shopkeeper, For being the rudest shopkeeper i have ever met. He has no skills whatsoever in dealing with HIS OWN CUSTOMERS. I only use the shop if i must. I called in there tonight and all the time i was being served he never muttered a single word(please, thank you, would you like a bag) nothing, I actually asked him if he had lost his voice to which he replied WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY in an aggressive manner. i am in disbelief.

When out walking last Sunday I was bitten by a dog as I passed a certain house, I just wonder if anyone else has had this problem, it was at (I think) a place called Westfield, anyway the last house at the end of the long track that goes off to the right at the end of Lane House Road, then go past Beck Foot and then quite a bit further on to the end. The dog was aggressive the previous time I was there, about a year ago. Maybe no-one else uses this path, it certainly seemed little used beyond the house in question. It's certainly a right-of-way by the way, and though the owner was apologetic after this recent incident I wonder about the 'rightfulness' of having an aggressive dog loose on a right of way..

Just a reminder that the latest play by Pinnacle Productions takes place on FRIDAY 3RD and SATURDAY 4TH JULY at St Andrews Hall. You can get tickets from the Bay Horse pub in advance, by calling 01535 634936 or on the door on the night. £5 or £4 concessions (child, student, senior citizen etc). It promises to be an entertaining one, as the play we're performing was written by the great Eric Idle (of Monty Python fame). If you came along to our panto last year a very big thank you - please support us again this time as a lot of villagers put a lot of work and effort into the productions - both on stage and off!

Elderly in Care Homes. If you are an elderly couple and fear that one of you may have to go into a home, you can save money if you split your joint bank account and the money will be drawn from the account whose holder is in the home. This info came from Radio 4 YOU AND YOURS 17/6/9. There still may be a catch. More info from Age Concern or Help the Aged. Worth a try.

As I write this the speed of my internet is like that of dying royalty - "sinking fast". Trying to navigate round this site or any other means that after I click a link, I've time for a three course meal, a visit to the dentist, writing a short novella, and totally repainting my house before said link eventually works. I've almost time to get a smile from Mr Bains, but it's not that bad. Yet.

Anyone else having computer constipation problems?

What a great weekend it has been ... Unfortunatley spoiled by a mindless yob/s on Saturday night who proceeded to "key" 4 or 5 cars on Cross Street. We had a family friend over for the weekend - As he loves the area we live , however he has now gone back to Lincolnshire with a bill for around the region of £650 .
This is an estimate for his car - there were 3 others as involved well.
First question I have is "WHY ?".
This is pure mindless/ reckless vandelism and I really hope that "what comes around goes around".
I am sure that the person/s that did this , if they are reading this will be feeling very proud of what they have done and will no doubt brag about it. It insense's me that these yobs feel that they can get away with it. Lets hope that these idiots make nice money - buy a nice car then get it keyed - see how they like it.
Police have been informed about this as I believe that this also happened a couple of weeks ago.

Special thanks go to Mrs.Edith Metcalf, Townend Farm, for use of their land, to David Adams at Dyrstone Radio for their PA system and excellent commentary and to Lothersdale Young Farmers for loan of the 300 ducks (we hope all returned safely).

We moved into the village with mobiles on the 3 network and reception here is pretty dire. The contract is due to end soon so are wondering who to go with next.
We're in the houses opposite Acre Meadow and get 2 out of 5 bars on GPRS (at best inside, sometimes no service depending on where you stand) & can't get a 3G service at all.
Please reply with:
Mobile operator & signal strength.

Cheers

House Calls - Please don’t be alarmed!
During May and June councillors will be calling at residents’ houses, along with a local police constable. This is simply to let you know that councillors and constables exist, how we can be contacted, and to see if you have any concerns which can be dealt with.
We won’t be able to call at everyone’s house, but it’s a start!

I am researching my ancestrors and belief my that my great great great grandfather, John Longbottom (1771-1844) who was married to Sarah Cowling (1775-1824) was the landlord of the Thanet Arms in Silsden in 1822 (according to Baines Directory for Silsden). An old map of 1853 shows the Thanet Arms just south of the Leeds-Liverpool Canal and north of Hainsworth House on the Hainsworth Road. There does not seem a pub in that area today. Does anybody have any information on the Thanet Arms. I beleive it was given this name because it was build on land owned by the Earl on Thanet. I can be contacted at email address graham@long.co.uk Thank you for your help
