Textile students turn old Blackburn Rovers kits into fashion
Blackburn Rovers have been celebrating one of their greatest ever saves - but this time it did not involve a goalkeeper and instead was a bid to tackle climate change by upcycling old kits. The club asked local fashion students to repurpose kits which were heading to landfill and create a unique collection of clothing, which included skorts, a bell-sleeved jumper and a bag. It is part of Green Football's Great Save which rallies the entire football community from fans, players and pundits to keep kits out of landfill to protect football and the reimagined designs by Blackburn College students, which were on show at Ewood Park, will be auctioned off to raise money for charity. Second year fashion and film and media students from Blackburn College collaborated on the transformed 25 garments, which included taking waist bands off shorts to transform them into crop tops, upcycling track suits into eye-catching jackets and a bag made from two pairs of and media students then filmed as the collection was showcased on the pitch. Textile and fashion student Rihana, who whipped up the bag, said she wanted to put her own spin on all her designs. "I don't really follow football but if I did I would want to wear something that represents me but also still supports the team so I wanted to add some bell sleeves to the jumper," she said. Another student Isaak created skorts - which has the appearance of a skirt but has built-in shorts underneath - and a cropped top from a goalkeepers shirt to add to the collection. 'Create something new' Daniella Slinger, course leader of textiles and fashion at Blackburn College, said: "The fashion industry wastes 92 million tonnes per year globally and almost half of that goes into landfill. "So what we've done with this project is just take a small amount that waste that would have sat in landfill and take it apart, put it back together and create something completely new from it." Blackburn Rovers said the clothing collection will now be sold in an online auction with the proceeds going towards a homeless, refugee and asylum seeker football team supported by the club. Yasir Sufi, head of commercial and partnerships at Blackburn Rovers, praised the innovative creations produced by the students and said it was a "fantastic initiative" to save kits from going into landfill while also raising money for a great cause. "It's a win for everyone," he said. Listen to the best of BBC Radio Lancashire on Sounds and follow BBC Lancashire on Facebook, X and Instagram.

Cambridgeshire Napoleonic prisoner of war camp to open to public
People will soon be able to visit what is believed to be the world's first purpose-built prisoner of war camp dating from the Napoleonic Wars between Britain and Norman Cross Camp just south of Peterborough housed about 7,000 French prisoners and inspired the world's largest collection of prisoner historic site, which dates back to 1796, was bought by the Peterborough-based Nene Park Trust who want to introduce visitors to the site in September. Historian Paul Chamberlain, said it could provide a better understanding of a "lost town" that had a significant impact on the region more than 200 years ago. The Norman Cross Camp operated from 1797 to 1814 and functioned as a self-contained town with barracks, offices, a hospital, school, market place and was far from the sea, making it difficult for escapees to return to France, and was away from potential invasion areas, in a fertile part of the History: Napoleon, Nelson and the French ThreatIt closed in August 1814 and two years later the buildings were demolished, and the site sold. The land was used for arable crops and grazing and is primarily under pasture, but the site still contains the earthworks and buried remains of the camp. Napoleonic era author and historian, Mr Chamberlain, said: "Norman Cross Prison Depot is unique in that it is an historic site that continues to tell its story, involving communities, both local and national. "This acquisition will enable more of the story to be told for future generations and provide us with a better understanding of a lost town that had a significant impact on the region over 200 years ago." About 1,770 former combatants are buried at the site, which just off the A1(M) at junction 16 for Yaxley and south Minister Baroness Twycross said it represented a "poignant chapter in our shared European story". "The remarkable stories of those held in what was the first purpose-built prisoner of war camp should be remembered now and in the future," she Bradbury, chief executive of Nene Park Trust, said the charity was delighted to take on the ownership to "share its green space and unique stories for generations to come".
