@MissHistorygal @MissHistorygal According to the Lowry Gallery, Lowry was travelling through Haslingden, Lancashire on a bus with a friend. He spotted a man lying on the wall in a suit and with a briefcase against the wall. He apparently said ," I would very much like to do that one day".

Aw reet!
Seeing as it’s #LancashireDay I’m going to give away a Northern Sky A4 print.
Inspired by my hometown of Blackburn and the Nick Drake song.
Retweet and follow me to enter. I’ll pick a winner after 9pm (27 Nov) https://t.co/erUZ7DPrQL

@dpadesign2020 @MooseAllain @MooseAllain Ah, the Vauxhall Chevette! Unfortunately the Haynes manual didn't tell you how to stop the back windows falling out when you shut the driver's door.

The UK Government is trying to hang this portrait of King Charles in every public building including schools.

The SNP rejected it and saved £8m that they can actually spend on education.

If you want it out of our schools RT.

@BladeoftheS 2/ Parents seemed very grateful we were doing this! We focused on relationships . The questions from young people were often surprising and dealing with misunderstandings was a crucial part of it. In the 40 years of teaching sex and relationship education I never had a complaint.

[Ian Riley @thranged]

@BladeoftheS Way back in 1980 , in a Leicestershire middle school we ran an evening session for parents prior to the course starting, where we explained in detail what our sex education course would follow for Year 7 (11 year olds). 1/

I am ashamed our country has arrested and charged @GretaThunberg.

RT if you agree.

Lancashire Teaching Hospitals. Sent to all staff yesterday, staff not to test unless on Ribbelsdale (inpatient oncology) or ward 25 (renal). No-one else should test, incl outpatient oncology clinic, cancer treatment centre, and dialysis.
I despair...

I've no reason to doubt the provenance of this note from a Shropshire NHS Trust, but I genuinely wish it was fake.
Short-sighted doesn't even begin to describe my outrage at this callous approach to staff and patient safety.
Have we learned nothing?
I only hope it's not UK wide💔

@JenOrpinPainter @GrimArtGroup Here's another retro scan from 1962 of some motorway architecture. On a coach trip the best part was the stop at the services. That's our family group at the window. Don't know the location. Any ideas out there?

[Ian Riley @thranged]

@ThImpassiondDid @GrimArtGroup It was very hard work. We lived there for 10 years. Open 8 am until 5pm but people used to knock on the back door for stuff when we were closed!

[Ian Riley @thranged]

@MorleyLass92 @GrimArtGroup I think I sampled them all! 😉

[Ian Riley @thranged]

@keswickbro @GrimArtGroup Afraid not 😪 This image is from an old slide transparency. I must have taken the picture. The shop was tiny and packed with stuff.

[Ian Riley @thranged]

@spmooney68 @GrimArtGroup Yes

[Ian Riley @thranged]

@MorleyLass92 @GrimArtGroup It's 30 Hall Carr Road Rawtenstall as others have identified.
