Background
History
From 1909 to 1974, Earby formed an urban district. Since 1974, Earby has been in the West Craven area of Pendle, has a town council and is part of the West Craven Area Committee on Pendle Borough Council. The Yorkshire Dales Lead Mining Museum was based in the old Grade II* listed Grammar School building; it closed in January 2016. The Robert Windle's Foundation, a charity established in the 1600s and original owners of the building, have now taken back control and are working to establish a community hub and café for the benefit of the residents of the locality.
