residents living near by THE many Ribble Valley residents who live, as I do, in dose proximity to a caravan park will have read your well- balanced article about Todber and Twyn GhyU caravan parks with interest and concern. I, together with many others, feel considerable disquiet


about the numbers of caravan parks and caravans already in our area and the way in which they may develop in the future. To name but a few, in recent months your paper has car­

In a common sense mood, you'll be showing practical flair and determination. OK so you may be slow to make up your mind, but you will be absolutely unshakeable when your decisions are made. There will be a better balance in your approach. If you're normally frivolous, then this is the time you get real. Or if you are normally gloomy, then you will positively blossom with good humour.

appear to suffer the same restrictions. Indeed the council seems to actively assist them to make and then to improve their planning applications. Small wonder that many res­ idents feel that in the planning process the scales are tipped in favour of business interests against local interests. Mr Macholc, the council’s development control manag­


er, has suggested a review of the council’s policy towards caravan parks. As the legislation and regulations concern­ ing caravan parks are much out-dated (and I pity the council’s officers who try to interpret them!), such a review is long overdue. I would urge that the scope of any review should include


consideration of the numbers and size of caravan parks in the area and their effect on local residents as well as the basis on which planning permissions and site licences are given.


LINDA SPROSTON, Paythornc, (representing the Paythorne Objectors’ Group)


Protect this area from


over-development I WOULD like to draw'attention to the proposed devel­ opment in the heart of farming land in the Ribble Valley. As a very concerned neighbour of this development I would like readers to know what is being proposed. The village of Dutton covers a fairly large area, but its


properties are small in number. The caravan proposal is for 79 static caravans. This would essentially double the size. I believe the horseshoe-shaped woodland is 15th Centu­


ry and unique throughout the whole of Lancashire. It has been given a biological Heritage Status by Lancashire County Council. Numerous farms that are predominantly sheep and


dairy surround it. Any amount of dwellings and human habitation would


have a disastrous effect on the wildlife and ecology of the area. I have only lived here for two years, but I have always been astounded how much wildlife there is here. At night there is very little noise or light pollution and this has made for a large amount of owls being able to live here. I have seen red squirrel and deer on a daily basis. It is a


farm which has been farmed in a similar way for hundreds of years, and the woodland habitat very undisturbed. This is our heritage which we must all stand up and fight to pre­ serve. The local infrastructure would need to he able to sup­


port such a proposal. The B6423 Clitheroe to Longridge road, along with Gallows and Stoneygate Lane are already- overloaded. Currently on the section involved a speed limit has been proposed and is being considered.


The local villages of Knowle Green, Ribchester and Hurst Green, would feel the knock-on effects of the


•increased traffic. This road has become more dangerous even in the two years I have lived here. It is the only road off the motorway, which supplies the north side of the Rib­ ble, and it was not designed for this usaga

Our shared interest in a


well-known name I AM sorry that I do not have any information to help your correspondent Mr Woodrup, of Rochdale, in rela­ tion to the Stocks railway. However, I am interested in his claim to be descended from the John Brennand who, by will, endowed the


School in Slaidbum in 1717. >5 £ would be very pleased to hear from Mr Woodrup as


We share a mutual interest in the Brennand name. For more than 30 years I have accumulated much informa­ tion relating to the name I have helped many with their family history research - Brennands living in various parts of this country and the wider world. Many having no idea of their origins in these parts and others with sto­ ries that are all worthy of note In the former West Riding the personal name appears as “de Brennand” (of Brennand) in the 14th Century


•.'Slaidbum Court Rolls. The large geographical tract of land named Brennand in the Dunsop area shows that it is not difficult to see how that came about. By the 16th Century there were dozens described by the name both in the area and further afield. - It can he a time-consuming and difficult job sorting


out the families, made sometimes impossible by lack of hard evidence, hut the research continues. Regarding the John Brennand who endowed the


school, very little seems to have been recorded about this benefactor, except for the fact that the church records of St Andrew, Slaidbum, state “sepultus in eclesia” (buried in the church) on May 15th, 1717. This was only four days after his will was drawn up, literally on his death


bed. It is not thought that he had any descendants, cer­


tainly none are named in his will. What is not commonly known is that his will was contested by a William Geldard


claiming consanguinity (“with the same blood”, or kinship). The will and the records relating to the above claim are in the Borthwick institute in York. The fact that someone with a distant connection made a claim would indicate that there were no direct descendants. After many years, we are fairly close to identi­


fying where he fits into the Brennand family jig­ saw, but continue the search for the evidence cru­ cial to any serious research. However, those of us who were brought up with

the story of descent from such a benefactor can rest assured that they would more than likely, at the very least, have some common genes. Do any readers know where there may be


records concerning the early days of the school, for example is the architect known and do the early architectural drawings exist anywhere?

Fantastic opportunity


not to be missed I WOULD like to bring to your attention the opportunity for 16-20 years olds in your local com­ munity to participate in a four or five-week expe­ dition during the approaching summer holidays of 2004. BSES Expeditions (formerly the British


Schools Exploring Society) has been taking young people on expeditions to wilderness areas abroad since we were founded in 1932, and we are now looking to select young people across the UK to join our forthcoming expeditions in 2004. In 2004 our summer expeditions will venture to


the Artie island of Svalbard, the volcanic wonder of Iceland and the magnificent African Rift Val­ ley in Northern Tanzania, including the opportu­ nity to climb and study an active volcano known locally as “The Mountain of God”. We are also seeking young people for our two-


month gap year expedition departing in April 2005 to South Africa that will involve trekking on foot through the game reserves, sleeping under the stars guarded by Zulu warriors and learning from expe­ rienced game rangers. Participants will also gain essential bush skills, understand game manage­ ment and conservation and learn about the fasci­ nating Zulu culture They are not for the faint-hearted. Physical


endurance, mental robustness, integrity and emp^, patibility - combined with a lively sense of- humour under all conditions - are all required. All the expeditions will include science field


work and conservation in which every young explorer will become involved. Work such as botany, surveying, meteorology, geology, glaciolo­ gy, ornithology, animal counts, as well as phtogra- phy and art, may he available. Anyone in your local community who thrives on


living in the wild, who has a lively inquiring mind, who works hard and plays hard, who wants to discover new things in a challenging way, should contact BSES Expeditions on 020 75913141 or visit website www.bses.org.uk to apply online
