SEASON OPENS


Last Friday evening saw


the opening o f the 1968-69 season o f whist and domino drives held in the Old Grammar School Whalley in aid of the Clitheroe Division Liberal Association’s funds.


During the season, various


branches throughout the Divi­ sion will be hosts to those in Whalley who wish to play whist or dominoes during the winter months. On Friday it was the turn of


the Padiham Branch, who pro­ vided the refreshments. Prizes won during the even


tag’s play were as follows:— Whist: Women’s: 1, Mrs.


Chamley; 2, Mrs. Grosvenor. Men’s: 1, Mr. Chamley; 2,


2, Mrs. Crook. A competition was won by Mrs. Sefton. of Whalley.


M a k i n g g o o d t h e


d a m a g e Mr. Harry Birtwell for­


merly o f Clitheroe has just re-built the oak Sacristy door at St. Joseph’s Church, Nor- tholt, Middlesex, which was damaged by vandals. Mr. Birtwell who is 65, had


ORE PRICE CUTS AT FENTON’S


a heart attack last Christmas, but was back at work again by April. He was a joiner in Duck Street, Clitheroe, and lived in Chatburo Road with his wife Alice. He and his brother, Philip,


left the area at the beginning of the second World War, and he is still a joiner in Noriholt. The building of the oak door


involved hard work, and he had to sharpen his circular saw three or four times during the cutting of the old and new wood. Mr. Birtwell’s sister, Mrs.


Elizabeth Mitchell, lives in Hayhurst Street, Clitheroe.

He is the only son of Mr.


and Mrs. W. Campy, of Har­ grove Avenue, Padiham.


Given away by her father,


the bride wore a full length empire line gown of white nylon lace with a train and a pearl coronet held her shoulder length veil in place. She car­ ried gold roses. Miss Caroline Bates was the

Sheila Coggins, the bride's sister-in-law, Mrs. Ada Mary Gamer, the bride’s sister, and the groom's sisters, Mrs. K. Abram, Mrs. R. Chapman and Mrs. Dorothy Riley. They wore full length apple


of mixed flowers. Also in attendance were Mrs.


green empire line silk dresses with Alice band headdresses and carried white carnations. The best man was Mr. ■ R.


Wilkinson and the groomsman was Mr. D. Coggins, the bride’s brother. The ceremony was performed


by the Rev. E. S. Joselta and the reception was held at the Edisford Bridge Inn, Clitheroe. The couple left for a touring


small attendant and she wore a full length white satin dress trimmed with apple green, her ■headdress was a circlet of fresh flowers and she carried a posy


honeymoon with the bride wearing a green suit with matching accessories. They will live at Ripon Street. Blackburn. — Photograph: Pye’s of Clith- eroe.


In the footsteps of the Romans


There can be few people


in the district unaware that a Roman road runs through our boundaries. From Ribchester it crosses


to Potter Ford, then over Hardhill and the golf links by Higher Standen Hey. ’Up Brooks’, and on to Worston, Chatburn and ultimately to Hkley.


In some places w e l l marked, in others it is barely discernible as it drives for­ ward with little deviation further and further north. It is a pleasant exercise of


the imagination to attempt to picture the making of the road— the gangs of slaves and mercenaries sweating and toiling under th e remorseless will of their Roman overlords, d o in g work by sheer muscle power and physical effort that today would only be tackled with the most powerful machinery.


Outpost Interesting, too, to visualise


the scene in Roman Rib­ chester when orders were received that a detachment from the garrison was to move north for a period of duty on Hadrian’s Wall, the furthermost outpost of the vast empire.


There would be tearful par­


tings from wives and girl friends, from children and old comrades, as the legion­ aries fell in to marching order and set their faces towards a less wholesome, less hospitable, region.


Now, 2,000 years have


rolled away, and before many months are past, bull-dozers and all the powerful para­ phernalia of modem road building techniques will be tearing up the foundations laid in those far off days, for a portion of our new by-pass will follow the route the Romans trod.


Hoard The short stretch affected


will, fortunately, not be In our own area, but lies


between Worston and Kaley Lane, Chatburn. Then will surely come an


exciting task for men engaged upon the work, for who knows what relics of another age they might find just a foot or two below the surface? A r c h a e o lo g i s t s , both


amateur and professional, will watch this portion of the work with particular interest, for they will recall the finds on Clerk Hill a couple of years ago, and the great hoard of coins unearthed In a southern county at a more recent date. But here in Whalley, the


sheep and cows will continue to graze In comparative tranquility, and the plovers and occasional pheasant will forage undisturbed. And when, in due course,


the by-pass Is completed, it will be far enough awav from our own little bit of Roman


history, and although the roar of deisels, the screech of


The world of music


Many Interesting anecdotes


about well-kwown personalities in the musical world were told by Mrs. H. Tattersall, of Black- bum, at the Whalley Methodist Church Women's Fellowship meeting on Wednesday. She had met these personali­


ties through her association with the Blackburn Musical Society.

brakes, and the blaring of horns may be heard in the distance, as night falls, the shades of charioteers and footsoldiers will march on unmolested — at any rate until they get to Worston and the limestone rock of Chatburn. Here, undoubtedly, if they


are not grey already (for I have no aquaintance with the pigmentation of ghosts of ancient Roman soldiers) they soon will be. when they meet the clouds of drab dust which causes such dis tress in the Chatburn area, and settles on the village to the extent of dozens of tons per sq u a r e m i le annually.

Board of Finance are waiting for the arrival of an expert from the Ministry of Works who will make preparatory in­ vestigations to determine the extent of the damage and the repairs which will be necessary. A Diocesan architect said the


road was expected to be closed for about another month.

s o o n During the next gortnight,


pupils and staff at Whiteacre School, Whalley, are hoping to move into one of the new house blocks whioh has been


under construction since 1966. Each of the two houses will


accommodate 60 in dormitories of six and nine girls, with link­ ing common rooms.


Th rest of the building con­


sists of staff flats, recreation rooms and utility rooms. The 35 girls who left the


school in July at the age of 16 were the first Intake as a full boarding school in 1963. They averaged 4.5 passes in


‘O’ level examinations, and most of the girls had two other sub­ jects with Grade 1 passes at C.S.E.


Colleges Twenty-six of the form have


either gone into the sixth form of their local grammar schools and others into colleges of fur­ ther education or colleges of art. “We have heard from them


all and they are enjoying the work very much,” said head­ mistress Miss D. T. Leach, this week. In place of the girls who have


left, 38 pupils have been admit­ ted straight from primary school.
