The early history of the Village Hall is closely linked with that of
the Foulridge Ambulance Division, which was responsible for raising money
to purchase the land on Town Gate on which the Assembly Hall, as it was
then known, was built.
The Stone Laying Ceremony took place on the 22nd January 1898 and each of
the stone layers - Dr. A. A. G. Dickey of Colne, Mrs. Eleanor Anderton of
Burwains and Edward Carr of Langroyd - were presented with a trowel to
mark the occasion. Their initials can be seen on the foundation
stones of the building. Beneath one of the stones is a 'time
capsule' containing a statement drawn up by Mr. Whitworth, the first
Clerk to the Parish Council |
