Hi there,
I lived at the Limes, Skipton Road Barnoldswick from 1962 to 1967 when my family moved from Bradford. I have been trying to research the history of the house which I loved dearly. I moved from Barlick to Australia as a "ten pound pom" at the age of 15, 'abduction' is what I've always called it!
Our family, along with the Bovens from Coates Lane (I think) converted the old and disused Dobson's Dairy into a textile mill call Yorkshire Plush. Does anyone remember that? I would love to hear from anyone that still remembers me.
Cheers, JMR

I think you will find details of Dobsob's Dairy on here - just put it in the search engine.
Say only a little but say it well |

I'm almost certain I went to school with you at Gisburn Road, nice to hear from you.

I used to catch the bus to school outside your house. Next door but one to Roger Yates at the Beeches? Did you have a younger sister called Elizabeth? or is my mind playing tricks?
I remember Dobson's Dairies, walking past I would look through gaps in the door near to the path and could see the 'baths' where cheese was being made.

Quite a bit about Dobson's Dairy in Newton Pickles' transcripts in the LTP.

The old Coates bridge, three cottages tucked in to the left and the door to the vat room. Where I lived we were separated from this by about three quarters of a mile of air and when the North wind blew we got the lot, very potent cheddar and the scream of early jet engines being tested to destruction.

When they had the test beds at Gill Brow they used to melt the snow on the field between the works and the canal......

I'm still trying to find out how this all works. FIngers crossed!!
My sister is Elizabeth, she and my youngest sister Judith went to the local primary school. I moved to Barlick in time to start 2nd form at Skipton Girls High School in 1962/3. I probably knew many off you from the Burnley home matches.
It's so nice to know that so many of you are still in Barlick. I come back once a year to visit and take pictures of the house and surrounds and to visit my friend Gillian at Thornton -in-Craven. In 1997, I brought my children to see Barnoldswick and we walked down to Gill Church where I told them they would see grave stones that dated back to Norman times. There were none left! Was mind playing tricks, or have they all been destroyed?

It was your sister Elizabeth that I went to school with, I remember that I was quite besotted with her, I think I was about 9 or 10 years old at the time. Please pass on my regards.There are some pictures on the site of Gisburn Road Primary school classes. Nice to hear that you come back from time to time. A good proportion of the town hasn't changed at all but some other areas are beyond recognition. Quite a bit of urban sprawl, some of it not very pleasing to the eye. Ithink you may have been romancing a bit with the Norman graves, although part of the church is of Norman construction. I remember standing on Coates bridge watching the fire engines when the mill was on fire, can't remember when that was though, 1966?
