T. Wildman & Sons were specialists in the manufacture of bobbins for the textile industry. They manufactured all kinds of shielded Ring bobbins (twist and weft), tubes and pirns. The firm was established in 1859.[1]

In 1872, Mr Thomas Wildman purchased Willow Mill,located at Copy Lane,Caton-with-Littledale,LA2 9QA, and the manufacturing was moved here. [2]

With the decline of the textile industry, the mill moved to the manufacture of brushes, which was continued until the close of the mill in 1973. A part of the contents of the mill was donated to Lancashire County Council Museum Service. [1]

Queen Street Mill edit

Hi Joanna,

I'm one of the Andys from today. I've just attempted to fix your edit, is what you intended? For future reference you need put the apostrophes on either side of the text you want in bold. If I can help with anything just leave a message on my talk page. --Trappedinburnley (talk) 20:07, 10 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Judges' Lodgings edit

The reason I'm not sure whether I am coming is that I am having a minor operation on Monday (in Lancaster as it happens), but I hope to be back in action by the 20th. -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 09:01, 4 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi Thoughtfortheday You have been booked in, so just let me know nearer the day if you can't come. It would be great to meet you. Jhayward001 (talk) 13:00, 11 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thanks for booking me in. The op went OK, so I am pretty certain to be there. -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 15:15, 11 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

GLAM/Clitheroe Castle Museum edit

I moved the page to User:Jhayward001/Glam. That isn't an article and should be in article space. Should go somewhere in Wikipedia space (ie WP: or WikiPedia:) Bgwhite (talk) 07:21, 26 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thank you Bgwhite for the advice. I think I've found out where I should have put it - under Wikipedia:Meeting. Jhayward001 (talk) 10:28, 27 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the invitation. The date doesn't look right, tho. -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 15:54, 27 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • Did you mean 26 September perhaps? The non-date Sat 26 August is on the full details page. PamD 20:19, 27 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thank you User talk:thoughtfortheday and User talk:PamD. Apologies. Yes it should have read 26th September. I have now changed the page. Jhayward001 (talk) 07:38, 28 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • I'll put my name down (although the page is still displaying the August date). -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 11:16, 28 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Thoughtfortheday, Great you can make it. I don't really understand whey the page is still displaying August - when I view it it definitely says September. Am bit baffled!Jhayward001 (talk) 14:21, 28 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • I have now amended it. -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 15:09, 28 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Good luck with the event! The museum is a lovely place, and make sure to take lots of photos ;-) Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 09:28, 28 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi Joanna, thanks for the invite, I need to ponder, but hopefully I can make it. I notice you've had some difficulty getting this set-up. Some of the confusion seems to be because you've ended up with two copies of the page. The correct version is at Wikipedia:GLAM/Clitheroe Castle Museum, I've blanked the version in your userspace and moved @Thoughtfortheday's name. --Trappedinburnley (talk) 16:28, 28 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for moving my name. I hadn't twigged where the other page was. -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 21:22, 28 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
