Parwich was designated as a Conservation Area in 1986. Then the Peak District National Park Authority were setting up Conservation Areas through out the Park and it was always intended to undertake a more detailed analysis of each Area separately. The PDNPA has been looking at the Parwich Conservation Area over the last ten months or so and are about to enter into public consultation on their findings. All residents will be informed about the consultation period, running for six weeks from 14th April to 23rd May 2008) and there will be an open meeting.

‘Where was Cranford filmed?’

Posted in Events, Memorial hall, People, Societies on Wednesday December 19, 2007| 3 Comments »

What a great night, it was tense, it was close, just a few points in it. Six well planned rounds with interesting themes – Up the Union! A little bit of culture; A little personal; Odds & Ends, Truly General & finally Happy Christmas. Thanks Denis.

Seven teams battled it out, punctuated by well-earned drinks after each round (maybe that was my downfall!) At half time there were only 2 ½ points in it between the top 4 teams, so there was everything to play for. In the end it all came down to the last couple of questions, Minus 2 team were wrong-footed and pipped at the post by Ted’s Team. Well done to Tim, Sharon, Edith & Dawn who proudly strode away with the cup for the following year. Commiseration to Minus 2, Badger & Pauline, the runners-up, a fantastic effort seeing as they were only running on half strength. (more…)
