sumller and not-so-well known villages of Ribblesdale. In fact, I thmk hamlet would be a more appropriate .name than village for the total population is only about 180 people. : Tuesday was a lovely afternoon


and getting off the ’bus just out of Barrow, I walked the mile or so up Whlteacre-lane, until I arrived at Wiswell—a combina­ tion of ultra-modem bungalows, fEiirly modemi detached houses and very old cottages. I t was quite obvious, even to myself as a casual visitor, that the vitoge was quickly becoming a residen­ tial area and even the old cottages bore the “ new look,’! the majority of them having been tastefully renovated. - Although such a short distance


from neighbouring Whalley and .the main Lancashire-Yorkshire ^ highway, Wiswell is an extremely peaceful little spot and though I cannot vouch for the winter months, I ^ o u ld say that in summer it would be difficult to find a nicer spot in which to live. On one side of the village are green fields £uid woodlands while on the other side . the majestic fells cast their friendly shadow. Only a feW minutes walk from


the village, about half-way to Pendleton, is. the poultry farm of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Speak, where the Lancashire Laying Tarts are carried out, Mr. Speak is a native of Clitheroe and at one time was in the engineering trade. He became interested in poultry as a hobby and then latbr, as hi? interest grew, he bought the land at Wiswell and started poultry farming. ' ,


; 1938 to reply to‘ an advritise- ment he got the job of manag­ ing the laying tests. These tests, to the ordinary person are rather mystifying and seem to have little point, though to ^ctual fact, they are of eJ^reme importance to the poultiyman and a great help to increasing egg production to this country. Although it is called the Lan-

Explaining the baste principles of a test, Mr. Speak told me how birds were sent to him for a period of 12 lunar months—48 weeks. ’They arrive on ' October • 1st of each year and during their stay com- preh^ive records of their egg out-put are compiled. At the end' of .every month the

HISTORIC BUILDINGS


■TOISWELL possesses a National ' School which is thought I to


have been built about 1800.- Ex­ tensions were carried out Ta|ter. and over the door is the date 1879, which presumably refers to


ithe- addition of an iiifiants section. Many years ago, there were far more children • to ?he village than at present ^ d j a t one time the sdiool was.'spUt into three clasess with a total of nearly 100 children. Now there are only 24 children, ^ d they.'Eure divided into two qlasses. Those from three to seven yeaite of age form the infants section and are supervised iby Mrs. Wright, of Clitheroe,, while the

It used to he a farm but the buildings were bought about the begtontog of the war by Judge Walmsley, of Blackburn, and renovations were carried out. While | these were to progress a space was found between two chimneys and it Is assumed that this was once a priest's hole. The present owner is Mr. Bowman, and the farm is let to Mr. R. Seed.

The welfare of- the viUage


I was told that for a place of its size, Wiswell is'very fortunate for 95 per cent, of the houses are connected to a main drain' and the same percentage have a proper fresh water supply. The village which is exactly 400 ft. above seaflevel, posMsses its own reservoir ] and -the water Is filtered in a proper manner by,, riieans of a special plant. Water from here is also used to sup­ plement the Whalley supply.

street lighting, no '"bus service, no Post Office and other import­ ant matters which, to be fair, they should have, they are really quite well-oS and Councillor Pierce said that the street light­ ing was hoped to be installed very shortly.
