attended a post - election gathering at the Old Gram­ mar School, Whalley, on Fri­ day evening.


They had come from many


parts of the widespread Clith­ eroe constituency, including Briercliffe, Clitheroe, Great Har­ wood. Hurst Green, Longridge, F a d ih am , Simonstone and Whalley.


Mr. William Kinder. Chair­


man of Clitheroe Division Liberal Association presided and thanked all who had helped to achieve such a worth-while result. By their efforts they had


proved that Liberals now had a solid basis on which to build for the future in the


constituency. Mr. Kinder told members that


tile officers of the association had asked Mrs. Vera MacMillan to be tire prospective parliamen­ tary candidate again. This met with great approval and the decision is expected to be con­ firmed at the next meeting of the executive committee. Mrs. Vera MacMillan, Liberal


candidate for the Clitheroe con­ stituency in the recent General Election, said how pleased she was to have held the Liberal vote against the national trend. In fact Clitheroe was the only constituency between Cheadle and the Scottish border to have increased the Liberal percentage of the poll. At the same time the recent election had proved that even with a great national swing towards Labour the Socialists were incapable of winning Clitheroe, so no-one need worry about them any longer. As an example to follow


she quoted West Aberdeenshire where six years ago Liberal membership .was less than 100. Clitheroe Division was already far stronger than that! In 1955 the Liberal vote there was 4,705, in 1964 it rose to 11,754 and this time with 15,151 Liberals won the seat. She would have much pleasure


in being re-adopted to continue the fight, but pointed out that the first stage was to build up strength through local elections, and by establishing new bran­ ches in the several areas of the constituency where new Liberal support had been discovered for the first time. She was pleased that mem­


bers at tins meeting had put forward so many fresh ideas on achieving these aims and raising the necessary finance to put them into effect.

LOOKING THROUGH


A WHALLEY WINDOW The Rope WaiRc


PRECISELY where I heard or read the information I am "7 ' not quite certain, but there is a tradition ;that the long straight stretch in Whalley where Park Villas now stand was


once known as ‘the rope walk’. Here, in days when almost every villager was a crafts­


man of one kind or another, and before machines were invented which could do in minutes what previously took hours to accomplish, ropes were laboriously fashioned by


hand. I was reminded of this when I


visited Castleton, the "Capital of the Peak District,” recently. Here, at the entrance to Peak Cavern, protected from wind and weather by a massive roof of natural rock, the last rope- maker of Castleton still plies his


craft. Using centuries old machinery


and implements, some of it quite primitive in design, and some of it hundreds of years old and still in regular use, this old man fashions ropes of all kinds from clothes lines to car tow ropes; the sole survivor of a once-thriving industry. “I pay no rent,” he says when

burn has written me with inter­ esting additional information of “owd Dick ’Eddock.” the subject of an. anecdote I recently put* lished. He tells me that Dick’s real name was Haydock, which of course I knew, but preferred to use the vernacular form.. Mr. Thompson writes that Dick .was never'a cotton worker, but was employed for many years on the Clerk Hill Estate, and this is jrobably true. Dick’s smallhold­


complaining of the high cost of his raw materials, “and so I can carry on. 1 remember when fathers, mothers, sons and daughters worked alongside me; all busy. Now there is only me." The old ropemaker criticised modern, youth most severely. "They climb over the barriers, he claimed, “cut my ropes and damage my- machines. What sense, is there in it?” What


indeed! Castleton is an attractive


village, beautifully kept and with many quaint corners where the natural attractions of the area are not too blatantly com­ mercialised, and has yet another tenuous link with our own district. It is of course, the home of "Blue John,” the exquisite fluorspar


quarried deep in the “Blue John Cave,” and which local crafts­ men fashion into ornaments and jewellery of many kinds. Few people know that two


miles from Whalley — just across the river in “Mitton demesne”—is a'- disused quarry where small deposits of this lovely stone can be found. I know this is true for I have seen and handled specimens quarried there, thus disproving the claim displayed in many Castleton shop windows that theirs is the only known deposit in the country.


DICK ’EDDOCK What else is there in this


Derbyshire village of note? There are the picturesque ruins of Peveril Castle, many caves and potholes both big and small, delightfully quaint cot­ tages and old houses, all set amidst scenery of great charm. But on Easter Saturday it was cold, wet and miserable in Castleton as elsewhere; cyclists, hikers, and tourists stood be. mackintoshed a n d caped, huddled in sheltered corners almost deserted cafes, and I was glad to return home to a warm
