Most interesting place in Ribblesdale


Most of our villages by Ribble or Hodder are situ­ ated on a main thorough­ fare or highway linking one familiar place with an­ other. Consequently they arc well known, always in


the public eye or the lime­

Do we not desire a village hall, an old Post Office, with church, school and vicarage keeping a watchful eye on things from the liighcr ground? You will find it all in Pendleton, all nestling by the stream flowing through its entire length.

How strange in this world


thank g o o d n e s s resisted change and the invasion of modern property or drastic alteration. The powers-that- be have wisely avoided any disturbance to the rural atmosphere by permitting new structures only on the outskirts. An admirable plan, allowing the old and the new to enjoy the rural scene and at the some time avoiding, any disfiguration. Of course, as we know, alterations are permitted in the village only by special consent. Most of the houses and cottages are listed as worthy of preserva­ tion.
