So off I trotted, with my brother and two of his mates, to this society on Thursday night. The lecture was "Brightwork" ... Traditonal paintwork on Leeds and Liverpool canal boats by Mike Clarke.

Must admit I thought that it was going to be about paintings done by artists of the canal boats .. LOL.

Found it really interesting .. the different types of paintings on these boats between Lancashire and Yorkshire, and how they may have come about. I always thought it was the boat owners that did these ... no, was done by a special artist at the boat yard. Owners must have specked them .. just like we do with our cars.

Good wasn't it Cashy ?

The next lecture is entitled: "The Little Palace: Home in the 1930's". December 3rd.. Accrington Library 7.30 p.m. £2.50 for non members. Looking forward to that one.

Just thought they needed a plug ...

So, just been to the last lecture of the season 'East Lancashire Memories' .. lots of slides starting at Colne and, of course, finishing in Hyndburn.

I have now been to six lectures promoted by this group and they have all been top class, presented by extremely knowledgeable people of our area.

The next season will probably start around October but will keep you up-to-date with events and for a subscription of £10 'tis indeed value for money..

P.S. And if anyone starts to call me an anorak, you will understand the meaning of history ..
