Married, set up home on 2 gns a week


SIXTY years ago a joint income of two guineas a week was not considered impossible for a couple to marry and set up home. In fact, Mr and Mrs William (Bill) Taylor, of 10 Brennand Street, Clitheroe, did just that, and had something left over to go to the local dance.


Celebrating their diamond


wedding today, they look back on a happy but hard­ working life. People might get a lot more money nowa­ days, says Mr Taylor, but they seem to waste it.


Mr Taylor, 82 this month


and in the grocery trade all his working life, was paid a guinea a week, and his wife, Mary Ellen, received a similar amount as a winder at Waterloo Mill.


The couple were married


at St Mary’s Church, Clith- eroe, in 1913, and have two married daughters,

children. Mr Taylor’s father, PC John James Taylor, moved from Blackburn to Clitheroe and they lived at the police station in King Street. ■ He was awarded a police order of merit after catching and arresting a man who had broken into and burgled Roefield House.


Mr Taylor began his


career in the grocery trade at Morgan James, in Church Street, and joined the Co­ operative Society in 1908, managing different branches


in the area. Before the first world war


he managed the Chatburn shop and travelled from Clitheroe by bicycle. He retired in 1957. In the first war he was injured and taken prisoner, with two unsuccessful escapes. He served in the Home Guard in the second war.

Cleared of stealing materials to build garage


A MAN who used ap­ parently-discarded bricks and window-frames to build a garage was found not guilty of theft by Clitheroe mgistrates. Defending solicitor Mr W.


D. Greenwood told the court: “ The law is quite clear that something which has been abandoned cannot be stolen. If a man believes


that a thing has been abandoned he cannot in law be found guilty of theft.”


Kemple View, Clitheroe. denied stealing, over a period of six months, 1,500 housebricks and three win­ dow-frames, worth £68, the property of Whittaker and Son (Builders).


Glynn Ralph Tomlinson, of


distance lorry-driver, said that after moving into a house on a new estate he asked the site foreman for bricks and was told that whatever he picked up was his own afTair.


LITTERED


He collected dirty, chipped bricks from the gardens of


recently-completed houses and left them stacked be­ side his home without com­ plaint for four months. The window frames had been


lying about for a long period seemingly discarded. Mr Arthur Pierce, a builders agent with the firm,


told the court that he re­ cognised the bricks and win­ dow frames in Tomlinson's garage as similar to those used by Whittaker’s.


Mr Greenwood showed


him some bricks which had been dug up from a garden on the site—a few out of


about 300. “ The site is lit­ tered wit.li bricks that have been abandoned by your company,” said Mr ' Green­ wood.


Mr Pierce admitted that


sometimes bricks were run over by bulldozers and buried.


Mr Greenwood: ” Do you


think I have stolen these bricks?” Mr Pierce: “ Not if you dug them up from a garden.”


The magistrates ordered


costs to be paid from public funds.

more. Achievement was at a


high level, resulting in one of the best festivals Mr Du t to n had attended recently. “ The Borough Council must bo well pleased with the festival be­ cause it is bringing credit to the town.” he said. "Players must agree that the hospi­ tality offered to groups i.s commendable, and people will therefore enjoy playing in Clitheroe.” He praised the comfort of

“ Not Now Darling” had made the audience laugh and really enjoy themselves, said Mr Dutton. Though it was an


extremely funny play, it was frank, and he couldn't
