Old Pendle
This film, produced in 1974 and recorded on 16mm cine film by John Rickard, looks at Pendle and its surrounding villages through the seasons. It is another fine example of John’s work, his visual story-telling, camera work and editing skills, that captures the beautiful scenery in the Pendle area which has hardly changed in the years since John made it.
Runtime: 14 min 28 s
John Rickard
John Rickard was a self-taught film maker who was born in Wigan in 1939 before his family moved to Burnley when he was eleven years old. After completing his National Service, John became a printer in Burnley. John’s interest in film making began in the 1950s when he began working with an 8mm cine film camera and later 16mm before graduating to video in the late 1990s.
John produced a number of films from the late 1950s onwards, about Burnley and the surrounding area that were in colour with sound and narration. John became a member of Burnley Cine Club in 1959 and continued making films until he died aged 79 in February 2018. Thank you John.
