Wink Re: Wakes Weeks

The wakes holidays were set by cotton mill owners in the past with every town taking two weeks holiday at different times, so providing a continuous flow of cotton for the markets. Lancashire Education Authority decided last year to change the holiday arrangements for all schools to coincide with the regional holidays.
