Th'Owd Syker
Th'Owd Syker was born Rowland Denis Kippax in 1902 in Briercliffe. On retirement he took up writing dialect poetry and articles for the Burnley Express. Mostly they were about the Briercliffe/Harle Syke area and its characters, of which he was certainly one.This picture was kindly submitted by Gloria
