The Clarion House Way
Page last updated 27.08.2007
The Registered Office of the Nelson Independent Labour Party Land Society
The purpose of this site is to combine information about the history of the Nelson Independent Labour Party with the present uses of the Clarion House.
The "Clarion" is situated in its own grounds within the "Hidden Valley" and is surrounded by a myriad of public footpaths and close to both the Pendle Way and the Two Roses Way.
There is a magnificent view to the North.
We are deep in the heart of "Pendle Witch" country. Roughlee, Barley, Read and the historic towns of Colne, Whalley and Clitheroe are all within walking distance.
Celebrated Pendle Hill is to the immediate North West and a few miles to the East, Boulsworth Hill towers over the Pennine Way.
Within the grounds children can play under the watchful eye of their parents. There are lawned areas and a new adventure playground.
Part of the grounds has been set aside for wildlife and a pond has been dug to develop this potential.
A survey of the flora was undertaken during 2004 and the results were published in 2005.
Thank You!
The members of Nelson ILP Land Society wish to thank everyone who has donated money and contributed their time and labour to our ongoing renovation project.
We have received £18,000 from donations, fund raising and grants.
This has enabled us to carry out a major part of the renovation work including a new floor, the rebuilding of the veranda, external & internal painting, a new kitchen and an extension with indoor toilet facilities for the less able and baby changing facilities.
We need to raise a further £3,000 to replace the roof and provide easy access for the less able.
