Introducing James Cowell . . .
Jim Cowell was born in Burnley and has lived in the town all his life. He is married and has four grown-up children. Members of his family have lived in Rosehill since 1961.
When he left school Jim worked at the Hapton Valley Pit before spending three years in the RAF. After his spell in the services, he returned to the mines, this time at the Huncoat Pit. In later life Jim work at the Prestige factory before starting his own joinery business.
Jim believes that immigration and it's long lasting effects is a key issue in Burnley today.
"Make no mistake, I'm not a racist. I have friends and work mates from the ethnic minorities, people I have grown up with. But what does upset me is the immigrants who have come here to live but have no love or respect for our country. They have come just for our economic benefits. They don't compromise one iota, yet expect us to accept and fund their cultures and religions."
