Read more: Irwell Works Brewery Ramsbottom tenant goes into liquidationSara said: “It was the tenant who went bust not us and we own Irwell Works Brewery. “Five years ago, we rented it out to a tenant, and unfortunately, they went bust and their company was called Irwell Works Brewing. “This building was built in 1888 for a local coppersmith so our first five beers were a nod to the building as it used to be Irwell steam, tin, copper and iron works so our first beers were called steam, tin, copper and iron. “We try to keep everything local, we buy local and use local produce as much as we can and are very keen on promoting Ramsbottom as a vibrant town.”

Invergarry pupils hold speed limit demonstration
We value our content and access to our full site is only available with a subscription . Invergarry Primary School pupils held a roadside demonstration recently as part of their campaign to cut the speed limit through their village. The children gathered on the pavement along the A87 on Wednesday November 22 to demonstrate to passing drivers the strength of their feeling that the part-time 20mph limit should become a full-time one. “The part-time 20mph speed limit at Invergarry is legally enforceable when the electronic signs are flashing, with the speed limit being 40mph at all other times. “The legal order that underpins the part-time speed limit is not specific to times, and the flashing lights can be set to be active – bringing the 20mph speed limit into force – for any times that suit the school’s requirements.”

“Get on the f***ing road!” Angry pedestrian confronts cyclist for “riding on the pavement” – while standing in front of shared-use path sign; National Cycle Network or cyclocross course?; “Why I stopp
This was simply just another case of a high-pitched pedestrian getting inconceivably angry about a person riding a bike on what she colourfully described as the “f***ing pavement”. Get on the f***ing road,” our friendly pedestrian informed the cyclist. Not that anything trivial such as a clear shared-use path sign mattered to Mandy Cohen, of course. “The same people who tell you to use a cycle path when you’re on the road,” Orpington Cyclist said. “Shouldn’t be on the road, there shouldn’t be cycle lanes and I shouldn’t be on the pavement.

Climate as well as conflict assails children in the Middle East, aid agency reports
CHILDREN growing up in the Middle East are increasingly affected by climate change, and are exposed to heatwaves, dust storms, droughts, and floods, a new report from World Vision says. Thirty-nine per cent of children in this area who had to leave their home did so because of climate change rather than conflict, researchers said. Children are frequently the “blind spot” in most countries’ climate policies, it says. Research took place in five climate hotspots in the Middle East: Nineveh, in Iraq; Azraq Refugee Camp, in Jordan; Akkar, in Lebanon; north-eastern Syria; and the West Bank. Researchers focused on the effect of climate change on vulnerable communities, and children’s mental health, protection, and education.

How I survive: a seven-year-old’s life in Gaza – video
Seven-year-old Lina and her family are sleeping on the floor of a tent outside al-Aqsa hospital, in central Gaza. They were forced to flee their home in Jabaliya in the north of the Gaza Strip when the war between Hamas and Israel broke out after Hamas' murder of 1,200 people in southern Israel. Now displaced, Lina and her siblings spend their time searching for food to buy, queueing for water and playing games. The Guardian spent one day on the 9 November with Lina to see how children are surviving in Gaza.

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes responds to criticism about his captaincy
Harry Maguire was expected to leave United in the summer and he was stripped of the armband by Erik ten Hag, which led to Fernandes officially being named captain. The midfielder joined Ten Hag for his pre-match press conference at Carrington on Tuesday afternoon ahead of facing Galatasaray in the Champions League and he opened up on dealing with the criticism. I’m probably not always right, but in my head, at that moment, it's the right choice. Fernandes is the usual penalty taker and he handed Marcus Rashford the spot-kick against Everton at the weekend. "We have a list of penalty takers and there's no order of who's going to be first, second or third," he added.
