a footpath has always pre­ sented the police with diffi­ culties. I t is recognised that, in some areas, cyclists may feel obliged to cycle on the pavement because they are frightened of the road. This is particularly so with young children.

THE story about the mill- owning Garnett dynasty, fea­ tured in the Clitheroe Adver­ tiser and Times earlier in the year, enters a new chapter this week - with more information


from the far-flung family. Mr David Garnett, of Tatten-


hall, Cheshire, tells us he is current­ ly transcribing the diaries of his great-grandfather, James Garnett, who, along with his brother, William, headed the family cotton firm at the time of the Low Moor Mill centenary celebrations in


1899.He writes about his connections with the family, after reading our reports about a distant Australian cousin who intends to visit Clitheroe this year to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the founding


of the former mill. Mr Garnett writes: "I am a


great-grandson of James Garnett and grandson of William Garnett, the late occupant of Low Moor House. William was a partner in the firm at the time of its liquida­ tion in 1930, but more importantly he was one of the three of James's sons charged with making the arrangements for the centenary, the other two being his brothers, Tom and Newstead. "To further identify myself, I am

gathering." He says that the main event of

to 1900. "I have set myself the task of , ,


transcribing the first 10 years and have reached, at this point in time, the middle of the year 1862, where there is much reporting of events in the American Civil War which had such disastrous results on the sup­ ply and price of cotton. "I have now transcribed, from the diaries, the record made by


the day was a dinner, and not a tea party as some people believe. It was held mid-day and more than 1,100 people, including family, friends and the whole of the workforce, attended.The tea party in the afternoon, was for the children and younger members of the village. James wrote in his diary that

Waddow Hall, James's home, is in a good state of preservation - thanks to its present owners, the Guide Association - but there have been significant alterations both exter­ nally and internally. e William died 13 years after the centenary, on February 17th, 1912, and is buried in Waddington churchyard. James died one year later, on February 20th, 1913, and is buried in Grindleton churchyard.
