Access has to be via lay-by


THE access to a proposed barn conversion at the top of a busy trunk road led to an objection by members of the local parish council. However, Ribble Valley


Borough Council’s Plan­ ning and Development Committee approved the application at New Sawley Grange, Gisburn Road, Sawley, providing that the entrance to the property was via the lay-by and not directly on to the A59. Councillors heard that


the application was for conversion of the tradi­ tional stone-built barn into four dwellings. The barn was presently associated with the operation of Saw­ ley Grange farmstead. The scheme had been


amended from the original one submitted, in order to segregate what would become residential traffic from the remainder of the working farm unit. Cur­ rently there were two means o f access to the farmyard; from the lay-by at the top of Sawley Brow and directly on to the trunk road.


The parish cou nc il .


objection referred to over intensification of the site and an increase in vehicu­ lar traffic on a major trunk


road.


Royal export award for market leader firm


A FORMER Ribble Valley company has been awarded the Queen’s Award for Export two years after gaining the


Queen’s Award for Technology. Directors, managers


and staff of Altham- b a s e d J am e s


Dewhurst Ltd were delighted by the latest


accolade. Company chairman Mr


Peter Brierley, of Wor- ston , paid tr ibu te to e v e r y o n e in v o lv e d , emphasising that it was the company’s two manu­ facturing divisions that had won the award — n on -w ov en (D ew te x ) industrial fabrics, the managing d ir e c to r o f


which is Mr Miles Brier- ley, of Rimington, and the weaving division headed by Mr David Hill. In the last three years, exports within the two


divisions have doubled and now represent over 75 per cent of the total turnover. The company, which


was founded at Shaw- bridge Mill in 1933, has recently opened its own offices in Germany to co­ ordinate its European activities. On the day the awards were announced, the


Go-ahead for bowling pavilion


A NEW bowling pavilion has been given the go-a­ head in Whalley.


Consent to erect a new pavilion at Whalley Bowl­ _ .


ing Club was approved by members of Ribble Valley Borough Council’s Planning and Development Commit­ tee who heard that space for parking 23 cars would be


located on the site of the existing budding. The pavilion is to be built near to the railway


line, a site considered to be better than that of the


current building, by planning officials. Permission has been granted subject to conditions


relating to specifications of materials to be used in the construction and site access.


Financial Times described James Dewhurst as having made a virtue of strength in an area where the UK was never formerly a con­ tender. It makes rein­


forced fabrics for aircraft shutes, inflatable boats, oil booms and event textile buildings, such as Riyadh airport. In a market previously


dominated by Germany, the local company has become market leader due in part to the investment of £7m. in state-of-the-art machinery. Apart from company


directors, many employees also live in the Ribble Val­ ley, having moved with


the company to its base in Altham.


Bridge winners


WINNERS at the Pendle Club bridge drive were: first, Mrs E. Holt and Mrs


J. Walmsley; second, Mr J. Lynch and Mrs A. Butler.

A FORMER Baptist chapel in the centre of Burnley has been resurrected—• as a music bar!


The former Jireh Baptist Chapel, in Boot Way near to the bus station, stood derelict for years now. Now it has beenreincarnated as


Bootleggers Music Bar, the latest addition to the town centre “ circuit” .


But back in the 1800s, drinking and having^ a good time there would not have been the Gadsbyites cup of tea.


The Gadsbyites, also called the Strict and Particular Baptists, built the Boot Way chapel in 1853.


They were only found in this area and their name suggests partying, dancing


and laughing was not first on their list of commandments.


Bootleggers Music Bar opens today -


after six months’ work on the ulterior. It had bera derelict forbears.


Marlandj


Its front wall onto Boot Way is original; as is the vestibule as you walk in.


There is also real pews, wooden panelling and floor and chandeliers, which keep the holy feel.


(The expertise of Burnley Council’s conservation architect Darren Ratcliffe was specially enlisted.)


But there are also good sized lighting and sound systems and almost every drink under the sun.


It is a free house, backed by Matthew Brown, so that means there is

Bootleggers is part of the new radio-linked Burnley Door Scheme, set up to deter trouble in licensed premises. Bootleggers will be open only on


Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays between 7 and 11 p.m. and Sundays between 7 and 10.30 p.m.
