Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Theresa Villiers MP was in Barnoldswick on Thursday to meet with shopkeepers.
The visit was ahead of Small Business Saturday taking place tomorrow which is encouraging people to support small businesses.
The town’s regular Thursday market was cancelled due to the high winds, but Ms Villiers MP met with Pendle Valley Markets owner Keith Mitchell and Town Square traders including Mellissa Beckley from House of Flowers, Richard Milner from Chubby’s Chippy and Sophie Mitchell from Cafe on the Square.
