I lost a rear light last night, coming down Roynton Lane (under the Seven Arch Bridge). If you find it, I’d be really pleased if you could hand it in at the Lower Barn Tearoom. In exchange, I’ll leave some cake tokens there for you.
Incidentally, last night was the 100th anniversary of Lord Leverhulme’s “Bungalow” getting torched by a suffragette, Edith Rigby. Apparently, she (and an accomplice) carried a keg of paraffin up the hillside from Rivington village, started several fires in the wooden building, then ran back to the waiting car.
The current remains are from the replacement stone Bungalow.
Edith was also the first woman cyclist in Preston, and as a teenager rode to Leicester and back 😯
