Im always interested in his posts and impressed with his local knowledge and Im sure his research is invaluable however burning records which have taken years to collate cannot be a positive thing and demeaning people with less experience is in my opinion patronizing.
I have a set of WW1 medals from a veteran from Oswaldtwistle and an antique bottle associated with the "Pals" which I would like to donate to a local history club or enthusiast but id be worried Retlaw would end up putting them on his bonfire.

Sorry if ive gone over the top and Im sure I will get slated for this post however this is how I feel

Donate them to Accrington Library.
I wouldnt put anything that belonged to the Pals on a bonfire, I'm only refering to whats mine.

As I've mentioned in a previous post, whatever I have given to the library is printed on red paper, it won't photocopy. If people want the info, then they can spend the time writing it out, as I have done typing it.
I have just made it easier for them to find the information, which has come from dozens of sources.

Hi, just come across this old postcard dated 17th Sept 1910
Handwritten on the back it states "Tree planting on side of the Coppice".

When you photocopy red paper on a black and white copier, the copy usually is black. Thus you can not read any information on the copy. However if you copy red paper on a color copier, the copy is red and you can easily read any information that is on the paper.
Ten years ago, red paper was an excellent solution to preventing copied. Today, because of advances in technology, red paper does not have the ability to protect anything from being copied.

Red paper does not make it copy proof, just makes it slightly harder. You can just scan it and then OCR the writing into Word or some other application.
The easiest way is a colour copier.

Most of the people of Accrington don't want to get up there and do the work themselves and they don't want their Council Tax increasing to pay for the work either. Just the same as most of our green spaces. Each successive Council has cut down the Parks Department until they just don't have the man power to keep these areas how they should be.

So they planted them in 1910, it must have been PB's fault then like everything else

This could only have been the lower bit though Atarah, not the big planting ... certainly none up there when I was a girl ... YES, 1910 too early for me before anyone comments !!

Love the work outfits ...

Accrington Libraries photo copier for public use is black and white, and they are not going to let documents out of the library, so people can take them to specialist copiers. Some of my other stuff is only on DVD, so they have to pay the library, for any one page or item, depends on what their after.

A bit gobby for a new comer who doesn't know anyone, its not really my style Margaret, but I'll make an exception in this case. LWA leave Walter alone

[Gayle]

Well, much as I have argued with Retlaw in the past about his reluctance to share, I've got to agree with Margaret that this attack is most uncalled for - just petty if you ask me.

[gdm27]

You people should listen too yourselves!!! I'm going to leave bad Karma care to join me, is this you personal site?? New comer? What, you have a little gang that meets on a Wednesday or something? People you can write and do what you want, I will try to get by with my bad karma. Oh and Renlaw, try and leave something a little more adult when you leave comments!! Next please
