HIS COURAGE WAS AN INSPIRATION


'J ’HE death in Clitheroe Hospital, yesterday week, of Mr. James Godfrey Middleton Whitehead, o f Cowper


Avenue, Clitheroe, a former inspector in the Clitheroe Borough Police Force, at the age of 66, brought a deep sense o f loss to his many friends. “The kindly policeman” was the description given


often by local residents when Godfrey Whitehead, first came to Clitheroe and served on the beat. His career was followed with great interest, his promotion to sergeant and later to inspector won wide approval, and his great sense of fair play, unbiased judgment and modesty, made him a model many young policemen wisely determined to emulate.


In the “ old days” when


p o l i c e officers stayed in Clitheroe for a long number of years, they invariably became prominent figures in the town’s public life. God­ frey Whitehead’s infectious good humour was almost his t r a d em a r k . One could scarcely ever think of him without being cheered, or moved to genuine admira- H TO w* *

not remove his great personal charm or dim his interest in current events, or in police regu­ lations and changes which were so often in his thoughts. Long, weary hours, when he was al­ most helpless, after 20 years of a paralysing illness, were often spent reading about former col­ leagues. Letters from friends who remembered him with affectionate regard during his active days- as a- police officer always- brought him great plea­


sure. In recent years he was con­


stantly seen in a wheelchair attending a local football or cricket.match; or some other sporting event. His cheerful comments, bright outlook and obvious courage in face of physical adversity won him more and more admirers.


In all, he was stationed in Clitheroe for more than 26,
