In the last few weeks we’ve seen the iconic chimney stack of the old Mondi Paper Mill start to be demolished. Although it will not be completely removed – just having a third of it’s current height taken off, it will still change the scenery of Ramsbottom which has remained since the mid 1800’s.
The primary reason for this is safety, having sat unused since 2008 the chimney and site have both became unsafe. In 2014 a 60 metre exclusion zone was constructed around the chimney and site to prevent accidents.
Since the chimney is changing forever, I thought I would dedicate an episode of the podcast to go into a little detail about the history of that iconic chimney.

Welcome to another episode of This is Rammy, this week in the run up to Valentine’s Day I’m having a bit of a love-themed episode.
In the week that Manchester was voted number 8 in a list of “The Happiest Places to work” in The Guardian I thought it would be good to get a head start on Valentine’s Day.
You’ll hear from Cheryl of Highfields Florists, Mike from The Card Shop and a special word from Stuart of The Vineyard on how he has love in a bottle!
Don’t forget that this is a podcast episode post, so you see that little play button up near the top left?
Give it a press to hear this episode in all it’s glory.
Even better, if you subscribe to the podcast, you’ll get it into your podcast player of choice or a link to the post emailed to you each week – so no searching around.

One of the most popular new restaurants Baratxuri has suffered at the hands of vandalism. An altercation on the street happened which resulted in a wheelie bin being thrown through the window. Staff and customers of Baratxuri were not involved with the individuals and it was an unprovoked case of mindless vandalism.
It seems to be quite a common occurence in Ramsbottom, a few years back there was a spree of windows being smashed on Bridge Street with Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary being hit twice over a few years.
I just spoke to Mike from The Card Shop on Bolton Street who has also had his window smashed in the past. He said “I know how I felt when I arrived to find that, so I can only imagine how Baratxuri are feeling”
