\FTER UNDERGOING a £1,000 face-life, No. 1 Kemple View emerged at the weekend as the newest of the houses built by Clitheroe Corporation at Henthom in the 1920s. This is the house which, as the Advertiser and Times reported some months ago, was chosen for a pilot scheme to show how an old, but sound, house could be modernised without a great deal of structural alteration. The scheme has also provi­ ded a guide to cost and rent, and it is hoped that private householders may be encour­ aged to follow the corporation’s example in making use of the Government grants available fo- such purposes.
