Couple out of retirement to run new bar brasserie


FORMER proprietors of Gisburn’s Stirk House Hotel, Mr and Mrs Mal­ colm and Karen Weaving, are in for a “rood” awaken­ ing. The couple, who live a t Hor­


ton Lodge, Horton-in-Craven, have come out of retirement to take over a bar brasserie called rood® in the Pendle town of Barrowford. They have major changes

want to give too much away as yet, but with Elton and Charlie now committed to the business, we believe we can make the bar' brasserie the area’s most stylish and fashionable venue. Many of

already changed rood®’s opening hours to encompass Sundays: “We see rood® as another jewel in Barrowford’s crown. In taking it on, our job is to give it a polish so that it shines its brightest to a t t ra c t visitors from far and wide, as well as those on its doorstep.”

AS the furore surrounding plans for the new village haU at Slaidbum continues, a his­ tory of the chapel and Methodism in the village has been produced. Written by Mr Chris Spencer,


the book is a history of the Wes­ leyan Chapel in Slaidbum and the people who worshipped there until its closure in 1999. Although not directly comment­ ing on the current opposition to


the demolition of the old chapel, the strong feelings that people have concerning the building, its history and its links with the human story of the community are evident in the introduction to the book. Mr Spencer, whose ancestor Mrs


Isabella Spencer founded the chapel, writes: “I hope to show th a t the current empty chapel building is more than just redun­ dant stones and mortar; it is a link with the past and stands as a testi­ mony to the remarkable heritage which Slaidbum has inherited.” The book also chronicles the

An article in a copy of an

have a new village hall led to plans being drawn up last year to demol­ ish the chapel and replace it with a modem construction. , These plans received consider­


able opposition and they were withdrawn, as the new building was not only considered inappro­ priate by many.residents and total­ ly out of character with the village, but that its construction necessi­ tated the removal of the chapel. . Later plans have involved a more traditional appearance, or incorporate parts of the old chapel into the new hall. However, there is some feeling th a t the chapel is without merit and should go. This is opposed by others who consider the building suitable for modifica­ tion or extension. Mr Spencer’s book is still in


draft form, and titled “A History of Methodism in Slaidburn and the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel”, a copy of which is available in Clitheroe Library. Anyone having old photographs


of the chapel and its surroundings, and information about it, can con­ tact Mr Spencer on 01772 717275 so that they can be incorporated into the final version. Our photograph is a previously


unpublished print of the chapel, probably from Victorian times.

Relay Reader winner Anna is passionate about football


THE latest Relay Reader winner is as passionate about football as books. Anna Hickling, who is 10 years old


and lives in Low Moor, is a pupil at St Michael and St John’s RC School, Clitheroe. She plays the flute, enjoys swimming, gymnastics, netball and running, though football, said her mother, is the love of her life. Anna (pictured) reviewed Beyond


the Deepwoods and described it as a brilliant book.


She wrote: “I t ’s about a boy named

Ward, together with landlady Sarah, said: “Terminally ill young people from places like the Ribble Valley are cared for at this hospice so. we thought it fitting to do what we can to help these children and their families. “We are delighted that over £130 was
