LOCAL SLIDES FOUND AMONG LITTER


'■ Whalley Window" .series, had an unexpected visitor the other day. He uas a stranger to Mr Fell; a Mr Peter Philliiis, of TamwoiTh. Stall'oi'dshire, and lie brought with him a collection of se v e ra l dozen old glass '• magic " 1 a n 10 r n slides, 31in. square, and pholo- graphio negatives which came into his posse.ssion in very unusual circumstances.


They were found among '.S^v. xV? ■


a pile of litter thrown out for disposal following a sale at Canwell Hall in the Lich­ field (Staffs) Rural District, prior to tlie demolition of


the property. The slides all show various


aspects of Whalley Church and Abbey and dale from the late 19Ui and early present c e n t u r y and. in­ cluded in the collection, is a printer's block of a sil­ houette apparently a por­ trait of the late Rev, R. N. Whitaker. Vicar of Whalley from 1840 to 1881, who was known as “ th’owd vicar." He was the son of the famous Dr Whitaker and a further slide shows tlie an­ cestral home of the family at Holmc-in-Cliviger. The silhouette, if Mr Pell's as­ sumptions are correct, was


used a.s an illustration for some editions of the Rev. Whitaker's book " .A Hand­ book of Wlialley," published posthumously in 1884 and long out of print.


Now Conn. Fell, intrigued


to learn liow these clearly Whalley souvenirs came to be found in the cellars of an ancient house a hunclrecl miles away in Staffordsliire, is making’ enquiries to at-


temjjt to determine how they came there. He has con­


tacted the local authorities to learn the names of for­ mer residents at the hall and hopes these may pro­ vide a clue.


Meanwhile he is arrang-


ng to liave photographic pi'ints done of the slides, possibly with a view to a local exhibition at some iiiture date, and will ulti­ mately pass on the collection l o those local bodies he con­ siders have the best legiti­ mate interest in the slides.


. Says Conn. Fell: " i am more than grateful to Mr and Mrs Phillips. In travel- li.ng ail this way to deliver the slides tlie.v display a most commendable public spirit and their kindness will be appreciated by ail wlio take an interest in onr Whalley of ye.ster.vear,'’
