Brogden Lane, Barnoldswick A PROPOSED development of 19 bungalows for the over 55s in Barnoldswick has been opposed by town councillors. The development planned for a three acre field off Brogden Lane should be rejected on the grounds of highways safety, the potential of flooding, and because of nearby heritage assets, agreed the meeting of Barnoldswick Town Council. Councillor Jayne Mills told the online meeting yesterday (Wednesday) there were also more even ancient links to consider, such as the old Ribchester to Ilkley Roman road which runs along the border of the proposed site, and that it was possible that the land, within a drumlin area, could have been farmed in medieval times, as it bore characteristics of ancient enclosed fields.
