MINISTER TO VISIT


The beauty of Denham Wheel


Those who (akc lo Ihc fields, far from the beaten track and the roar of the combustion engine, will agree that in places the Ribble can compare and very often


excel those rivers which for some reason have all the lime-light. The same applies to all this song and talk concerning “ the bonny heather” etc.


etc. To read many travel books is to believe that such things arc only to be seen in places many miles from our own district. Nothing could be more misleading or further from the


truth and if you disagree then I suggest you take a run to the top of Waddington Fell, or if you wish to see a not of colour which will rival any in the land then 1 implore you to lake a leisurely trip through the “Trough” front Staple Oak (best seen from just by Close’s cottages or Bishops


house). Here the fells and surroun­


ding landscape is one of march less beauty. It you want to see it at its very best, in all its splendid glory, then pre­ pare for the magnificent spec­ tacle as you leave Abbcyslcad and approach Marshaw Fell on your return to Dunsop Bridge. Here the purple heather carpeting the fells,

I am again tempted to use that over worked term “unique" but this place certainly qualifies for such a description, chiefly and because of the long period of change.

Autumn lints Over the years I have visited


here because of the shelter the leaves are slow to turn and the tints linger when others have gone. Then of course, we cannot


overlook Denham Wheel, an almost forgotten beauty spot of rare enchantment, where the Ribble after cascading over Hie rocky shelves “wheels" to form a deep pool—a resting place for salmon and trout.


I have every good reason to


recall a very amusing incident which took place here a few years ago when I took a party —members of Clitlieroe Natur­ alists’ Society—to share the delights of tins area. I t was a delightful warm and sunny day and we were attracted to the water’s edge. I, more adventur­ ous, or should I say more stupid, took a wrong foothold and, hey-presto! that was it. In


less time titan it takes to tell I was sitting, yes—sitting in the ice cool waters of Ribble. And if you have experience of such


things you will appreciate the discomfort of spending the rest of tlie day "drying out”.


On this my recent visit I


came by Fooden Farm and Fooden Hall, in order to renew


acquaintances I have known for a long time. At the farm and Hall I was assured walkers were generally welcome.

attraction. He told me of one old gentleman from Nelson "Who had visited the well in order to take the waters for many years. Whether it was good for rheu­ matism I cannot say, but of one thing I am sure, in order to im­ bibe such waters one must not let the imagination play on the odour -too long. As a result of this you cannot miss the place, Eyes are not at all necessary to locate the exact spot. The bubbling flow, giving off an odour reminiscent of rotten eggs, has never been known to cease, and -today, with the sul­ phur like stench as strong as ever, 1 placed a copper coin and one of silver in the water to prove or disprove a long held belief. I waited twenty minutes for the change to take place, was disappointed. They re­ mained the same in value and colour. Perhaps the test was unfair because of the dilution and excessive flow caused by the recent heavy rains.

FARM SAFETY A fanner was killed recently


when' he fell through a reef


made of asbestos cement sheet­ ing and several farmers and farm workers have been ser­ iously injured in similar acci­


dents. Roofs made of this sheeting are not normally


strong enough to walk on. "The sheets are strong but


brittle and require rigid, even supports. Their brittleness makes it dangerous to walk about on asbestos cement roofs unless proper cat ladders are first laid on top of the sheets.” Tlie Ministry of Agriculture


recommends that a clear notice should be attached to wall or walls of any building with a roof of this material, warning anyone who has to go on tlie roof to use duck boards or some suitable roof ladder, so placed that the weight is borne.' by the roof purlins of the building.

Moveable dwellings control


Owners of land comprising


tlie area of Clitheroe’s Moor Lane Compulsory Purchase Order. 1961, together with the occupiers of adjoining land, are to be asked to co-operate with the Town Council to prevent moveable dwellings, such as caravans, being stationed there. This approach follows the


Public Health Inspector’s report to the Health Committee that caravans are occasionally being stationed on land in this part of- the town.


BROCKHALL HOSPITAL


Mr. Kenneth Robinson,


Minister of Health, is to visit Brockhall Hospital dur­ ing his “whistle stop” tour of the Manchester Region from September 26 to September 29.


He will be the first Minis­


ter of the Crown to do so in the 65 years of the hospi- al’s existence. On the 28th he has a very


full day visiting hostels at Preston, Blackburn a n d Rawtcnstall as well as hos­ pitals at Burnley (where he is to hold a press conference) and Bury. In this packed itinerary he


has been allowed 75 minutes to visit Brockhall Hospital Into this “hail and fare­


well” call the hospital offi­ cials have endeavoured to fit a tour of the perimeter of the hospital and calls at seven wards or -departments, Even though the visit is to be brief, the Management Committee and officials will be very pleased to welcome the Minister who has shown great sympathy and under­ standing on the problems associated with the nursing, training and rehabilitation


of the subnormal.

Bury Town Council 18 years ago, and until this year was the only lady member on the Council—one lady, 43 men. I t was obvious to all listen­


ing that Mrs. Bu-tler was a woman o f very wide experience with a complete and sympa­ thetic understanding of the many problems of our present


day world. Mrs. Butler gave an account

the chair. Winners of the competition

Museum, at Bretherton. proved a fascinating experience for forty members of the Social Studies Group, under the chairmanship of Airs. D. K ‘ng, on Wednesday week. The museum is a restored


nth century house situated on Lord Lilford’s estate, and the collection of 1,000 dolls is dis­ played throughout the many rooms. The dolls are of different


periods and from many coun­ tries, all beautifully attired and made from a variety of m a t e r i a l s, including wood, leather, china and celluloid On the return journey th


party stopped for supper at Samlesbury Hall, also making a quick tour of the hisio: ic building.
