Well the Owd Stacksteads books completion is taking a little longer than I though due to the arrival of my little granddaughter Evie Jessica, it will I hope be out within the next 6 weeks. In the meantime I was asked to put a DVD together for the Bacup Nat in order to raise some much needed funds. The DVD is now complete and can be purchased directly from the Nat on any Thursday night 7.30pm.or by ordering from this site by clicking the button below or they can be ordered by 'phone on 01706 876965  The DVD features over 170 images of Bacup, past and present , taken from similar viewpoints, enhanced by zoom technology and enlivened by the music of the 2nd Rossendale Scout Group Band .

Firstly a big thank you to everyone who has purchased a copy of Owd Bacup I hope you have enjoyed it. I am at the moment working on Owd Stacksteads. I am planning to have it finished for the Nat open day on Easter Saturday. The expected arrival of a little granddaughter due 15th March however may scupper my plans. So watch this space :)

When I first began bacuptimes not everyone was using broadband and so I uploaded pictures in thumbnails to help those on dial up. I am now going through the site changing the thumbnails to larger pictures. So you may find parts of the site still with thumbnails and some with fuller pictures.

I have no added seperate pages for various areas in Rossendale, these are not comprehisie pages on the areas history

For the last few months I have been working on a book based on my presentation of  the

Owd Bacup slideshow.

It is now available to buy securely online.

Delivery is usually 3-5 business working days
