 | lancashirelove(4th January 2011)The Shuttleworths were for several centuries an influential land-owning family in the Burnley area whose wealth came from wool weaving. They lived at Gawthorpe Hall, their family seat for some 400 hundred years and their estates date back to medieval times. The family name reflects a connection with the old woollen weaving tradition of the district, probably being derived from the old English word "schotil" ("shuttle"), a device still in evidence three times on the family Coat-of-Arms. The Shuttleworths numbered Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855) as a family friend - she spent some time as a guest at Gawthorpe. Gawthorpe Hall is situated in Padiham on the edge of the Pennine Hills, standing in its own secluded wooded grounds on the banks of the river Calder. It began life as a 14th century so-called 'pele' tower, built as a defence against the invading Scots. Then, sometime between 1600 - 1605 for Sir Richard Shuttleworth, a wealthy Elizabethan barrister. Nowadays it is a compact three-storey largely Jacobean house.
One of the family's most celebrated members was Colonel Richard Shuttleworth (1587-1669). He was twice made High Sheriff of Lancashire, Member of Parliament for Preston and commander of the Parliamentarian Army of the Blackburn Hundred during the Civil Wars of 1642-49. After his death Gawthorpe was not occupied by a member of the family for 150 years, but several 'caretaker' occupants looked after the estate.
It was not until the 1850s that the Hall would see the family's return, when Sir James Kay Shuttleworth, the great Victorian reformer, commissioned Sir Charles Barry to carry out restoration and improvements to the house. More recently, in view of the exorbitant cost of upkeep of the Hall, Lord Charles Shuttleworth left Gawthorpe and moved to live at Leck Hall near Kirby Lonsdale in 1953. Today the Hall is a National Craft Centre, thanks initially to donations given by the Hon. Rachel Kay-Shuttleworth (1886-1967) in the 1960s - she was the last of the family to live at Gawthorpe Hall. Her particular skills in the art of embroidery and lacemaking and the extensive collection she made have formed the basis of the nationally important textile collection that she formed. The Hall is now looked after by the National Trust and is leased to Lancashire County Council who partly let it as a College of Further Education. Lord Shuttleworth is currently the Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire. |

 | lancashirelove(22nd June 2009)I was amazed at the content, but hey its an image that works, well done!
I think tha the original wall painting certainly brightens up what would have been a dull wall, be better though (IMO)if the wall backgroung colour was one single colour, ie pink or blue etc). I hate graffiti but this one works. |

Many concils in the UK jumped on the 'bandwagon' to claim those grants by stating they were making cycleways. unfotunately these 'greedy' councles didnt actual 'build' new cycleways but just painted markings on existing roads and footpaths, stuck up a few signs and claimed the full grants.

 | lancashirelove(20th March 2009)this IS pendle witch country, this exact location just outside the village of Barley is mentioned in the confessons of the s0-called 'witches'. A facinating area to visit but read up on the 'witches' to get that extra buzz. |
| lancashirelove(20th March 2009)the small room at the top right of the picture is haunted, as are the grounds by a White lady. The result of a love story gone wrong |
 | lancashirelove(20th March 2009)Sue, if you go to the main road at the top of this wood, turn in the direction of Gt Harwood, as you start to decend the hill, look to your left. The view on a sunny June day is like looking at God's back garden. |
 | lancashirelove(20th March 2009)hi Sue, When I was a small clild I used to look out the classroom window and see the top of these woods in the distance. At different stages of my adult life I've viewed this wood from different aspects from my homes. About 4 years ago, whilst visiting my elderly mother on her deathbed in hospital, I glanced out of the ward window and there in the distance was this wood. I now live 30 miles away, I look on POE and I see this wood. Thanks Sue |

 | lancashirelove(4th March 2009)great shot and worth the effort. Past photography was always a bit of a hit and miss affair. new digital photography allows you to see the result right away and retake before the subject dissapears, thus allowing anyone interested to get involved, not a bad thing I say. |
 | lancashirelove(4th March 2009)what a setting for a horror film. |
 | lancashirelove(4th March 2009)is that a ghost at the window? lol |

| lancashirelove(27th February 2009)In the mid 60's the famous Beatles pop group played at Blackburns King Georges Hall, at the time this road was dug up to divert a culvert.

 | lancashirelove(25th February 2009)great pic. these guys will go anywhere, at any time in any weather to rescue anyone in distress. The chopper crews are military serving Professionals but the lifeboat crews (male and female) are highly trained unpaid part time volunteers who risk their own lives for a thankyou and a cup of hot tea. |

 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)i'd be proud to call these men English, a loyal band of brothers. |
 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)for those who are unsure what a walking bus is - A number of organised voluteer mums who call on primary school children in the loclity and walk them safely to school thus saving on car polution. the kids were hi-vis jackets to protect them from hazards. |
 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)you can smell the burning oak chippings from this one |
 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)Recent debate on the forum of the rights and wrongs of altering images. This great shot would be even better without the car number plate trevor. |
 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)just slightly over the border into Scotland (This isnt a Chelsea tractor) lol |
 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)so much nicer when the sun shines |
 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)I know the firemen think they are underpaid but a charity car..er sorry, pedestrian-wash to raise funds is going too far. lol |

 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)changing world, old man with dog outside of pub, on his mobile lol |
 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)what is not always recognised is that this isnt just a pretty band but these men are trained fighting soldiers and could or have been on the front line at any time. |
| lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)i think this picture just says 'England' |
 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)its good to talk |
 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)well timed shot, glyn |

 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)many of these buses were painted in dark mat green and used to transport our soldiers in northern France in the 1st WW. Many were driven by civilian London Transport Drivers. |
 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)inside these cliffs were, tunnels and bases for the defence of our nation. They were of course top secret |
 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)i believe this actual tank was located in the water and brought ashore as a monument to those Americans who died here before they had chance to engage with Hitlers forces. This was a terrible disaster that, due to wartime news blackouts and security reasons the general public were unaware of until fairly recently. I give 5 stars, not for the picture (excuse me John) but in memory of those that died, not on the stage, but in the theoter of war. |
 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)a simple sign such as this brough hope, relief and pride to many |
 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)it cant be moved or exploded due to the effect that 3,000 ton of explosives would have on the surrounding environment |
 | lancashirelove(23rd February 2009)only 20 years old, so many 'men' in the bodies of boys (or should it be boys in the bodies of Men)stood up to be counted when defending our freedom. |
 | lancashirelove(21st February 2009)wow!!! |
 | lancashirelove(21st February 2009)wow, need i say more |
 | lancashirelove(21st February 2009)have a snack of fried fish, potatoe chips and a good cup of tea before you head off home, or just sit on the seafront with an ice-cream cone and watch the tide come in. |
 | lancashirelove(21st February 2009)The 'Panda' car was first introduced in Accrington, Lancashire as a trial in the 1960's up to then 'bobbies' patrolled either on foot or on bicycles. |
 | lancashirelove(21st February 2009)this busy shopping street is as busy during the day on any day of the year |

| lancashirelove(21st February 2009)thanks guys i dont put a copyright on my photos so feel free to copy any, I enjoy other people sharing my shots. |
 | lancashirelove(21st February 2009)although I now live on the coast, i was born and bread in north east lancashire and scenes like this were an everyday occurance, i used to cycle around Hurst Green. when I eventualy meet my maker and he asks where I came from, i shall proudly say 'heaven'. Nice pics. sue |
 | lancashirelove(21st February 2009)real shops, not museums |
 | lancashirelove(21st February 2009)no comment lol |
 | lancashirelove(21st February 2009)if you are thinking of visiting the 'real' England spend a couple of nights in Hawarth, and bring your camera |
 | lancashirelove(21st February 2009)nice shot Andrea |
 | lancashirelove(21st February 2009)this is England |
 | lancashirelove(21st February 2009)This village is well worth a visit at any time of the year, be sure to go in the Bronte museum which was the home of the Bronte's, you can 'touch' some of their personal possesions but it makes it all much more interesting if you read some of their books before you visit. Nice pic., take away the cars and the yellow lines, add a horse or two and a long dress and you are back in the 18th century. lol. |
 | lancashirelove(21st February 2009)They are the original actors from TV's Dads Army and the main street of Howarth is a perfect setting.A great shot that sadly cannot be repeated. |
 | lancashirelove(21st February 2009)If you visit Hawarth on the Sunday before xmas you will see a salvation army brass band stood here in front of a christmas tree, add a flurry of snow and you have the perfect Charles dickens picture. For anyone who has read any of the Bronte books (and I suguest they do) before they visit, this is the inn that Emlily Brontes brother used to spend his time in. |
 | lancashirelove(20th February 2009)thanks guys |
| lancashirelove(20th February 2009)thanks guys |
| lancashirelove(20th February 2009)dont forget Paul, we are only a small island so other than our Motorways, some of our country lanes are very narrow (but beuatiful) lol |
| lancashirelove(20th February 2009)i had one just like this, had to swop it for a saloon when my first baby came along, lol |
 | lancashirelove(20th February 2009)this is the true picture of england, a pretty stone-built church,flying the flag of st george, in a pretty village under a blue sky. just add the daffodils and the mounted huntsman in red coat and beagle pack. |
 | lancashirelove(20th February 2009)me too, we realy should try to preserve them for generations to come. |
 | lancashirelove(20th February 2009)why dont you make a calender of rural lancashire Sue using your shots. the county is so underated, yet so beautiful |
 | lancashirelove(20th February 2009)Lovely shots of rural Lancashire Sue, so undicovered and underated, definately not cloth caps and smokey chimneys as wrongly portraide by many who sadly havnt visited this beautiful county |
 | lancashirelove(20th February 2009)thanks ruth, the shot is of Gawthorpe Hall at Padiham, near Burnley Lancashire (How it got in the Hartlepool frame I dont know) emily Bronte stayed here a while with her Husband, its ony about 15 miles from Hawarth in Yorkshire where the Brontes lived |
| lancashirelove(20th February 2009)I took this shot at townley Hall, Burnley Lancs, i remember my dad owning one in the 70's lol |
 | lancashirelove(20th February 2009)you are not far wrong Barb, I took this shot on Boxing day 2004, i remember because when I got back home the news of the terrible sinami in the far east was on TV. Back to the pic. this is Gawthorpe Hall, padiham where Emily Bronte spent a some of her married life. Although its in Lancashire its only about 15 miles from the village of Hawarth where the Bronte sisters lived. close by is Wycoler Hall the setting of jane Erye |
 | lancashirelove(20th February 2009)sadly they couldnt move it so its now been cut up and cleared away |
 | lancashirelove(20th February 2009)believe it or not that is the road in front of the shot lol |
| lancashirelove(20th February 2009)believe me sheila, it is that near, I live just around the corner from where thius shot was taken. nice shot Ken. |
 | lancashirelove(20th February 2009)the Lake district from Cleveleys |
 | lancashirelove(20th February 2009)this was taken 200 yards from my home, the 'hills across the bay are the Lake district with the town of Barrow-in-Furness to the left. nice shot Pete. |
 | lancashirelove(20th February 2009)old Cleveleys, now redeveloped |
 | lancashirelove(20th February 2009)sadly no longer there |
 | lancashirelove(20th February 2009)this kiddie fair has now gone due to redvelopement, but still a nice place to visit |
 | lancashirelove(19th February 2009)best thing is there are no nasty things that could hurt you here, ie crocs., snakes, poisonous insects and spiders. Just lay in the grass and dream lol. |
 | lancashirelove(18th February 2009)this is a beautiful part of the world and little know part of the lovely county of Lancashire. this area is also steeped in history and anyone who has read the books of the Pendle witches or 'Mist over Pendle' will recognise the area. If you visit England dont go home without visiting north Lancashire and read its history. Good set of Pics., Sue |
 | lancashirelove(18th February 2009)from this spot look the otherway. its from here that the local artist painted 'Pendle in May' |
 | lancashirelove(18th February 2009)anyone out there researching 'the witches of Pendle' this is the area you should visit, beuatiful countryside, steeped in history. |
 | lancashirelove(18th February 2009)good shot, hasten to add this was a controlled 'burn' not wild-fire |
 | lancashirelove(18th February 2009)this reminds me of my village of Pickup-bank near Darwen in Lancashire, I was about 5 years old in the Mid 50's at the time and this was a regular winter scene. |
 | lancashirelove(18th February 2009)steeped in history this castle is open to the public, many where tried and executed here, the most famouse were the so-called lancashire witches, were they just simple folk in the wronge place at the wrong time or persecuted practicing Cathilics. Read 'The lancashire Witches' or 'Mist over Pendle' and visit the area of pendle in east lancashire to form your own judgement. |
