PEEPS INTO THE PAST 25 YEARS AGO


Extracts from our issue of January 3rd, 1930


THE heavy rain over' the Christmas period persisted,


and 1929 went out with serious flooding in the district. The worst damage was at Sawley, ■where the Ribble overflowed its banks and covered the road on the Bolton-by-Bowland side of the bridge to a depth of two feet. The -road between Four Lane Ends and Worston was also floded, and the high winds which accompanied the rain


blew down many trees. Members of the congregation


,of Holden Independent Chapel presented a gift of £25 to tbeir retiring Pastor, Mr. Knight, who recently relinquished the post after 22 years’ service!.


A further landslide' on .the


road to Whitewell reduced its width. It was not until a


•cavity in the road had been filled in that the ’bus could reach 'the village.


The Rev. James Robinson,


former Vicar of Read, was inducted as Vicar of Mitton by the Bishop of Bradford. He succeeds Canon F. G. Ackerley.
