- Old Pendle
This film, produced in 1974 and recorded on 16mm cine film by John Rickard, looks at Pendle and its surrounding villages through the seasons. It is another fine example of John’s work, his visual story-telling, camera work and editing skills, that captures the beautiful scenery in the Pendle area which has hardly changed in the years since John made it.
Runtime: 14 min 28 s
John Rickard
John Rickard was a self-taught film maker who was born in Wigan in 1939 before his family moved to Burnley when he was eleven years old. After completing his National Service, John became a printer in Burnley. John’s interest in film making began in the 1950s when he began working with an 8mm cine film camera and later 16mm before graduating to video in the late 1990s.
John produced a number of films from the late 1950s onwards, about Burnley and the surrounding area that were in colour with sound and narration. John became a member of Burnley Cine Club in 1959 and continued making films until he died aged 79 in February 2018. Thank you John.
A super film, it really shows how lucky we are to live here
Never been to the Pendle area but my 3 times great grandad is buried in Colne. I would like to visit one day.
you just missed the Great Colne Blue Festival that took place over the weekend. Many thanks for subscribing. Have a look also at Howards Greenwoods YT Channel if you are interested in Nelson and Colne - Howard was a member of Pendle Movie Makers until it closed last year.
@@burnleyfilmmakers1582 one of my first cousins 3 times removed came from Nelson. He was killed in WW1. I went to see his name in France.
Absolutely Brilliant
Excellent- brought back many memories of my time there as a teenager camping at Little Todber.
I remember walking from Nelson and camping there as well. Also at Camp School in Barley.

Hiya! I'm looking for footage of Pendle to use in a music video I'm putting together for my band. I love this, and was wondering if I might use some of it? The song celebrates the area!

Apparently Merlin liked to sit atop and have "visions".
Of course the founder of the quakers did likewise some 12 centuries later.
Plenty of magic mushrooms especially around Barley in the autumn. But obviously Pendle's magic has been a thing for millennia
