ENTERTAINMENT 1919 style—this early photograph depicts a group of Morris dancers who put on a per­ formance at Whalley in September of that year. The picture was passed on


to the Advertiser and Times by Coun. James Fell, who re­ ceived it from Mrs Hilda Chew of the Cottage, Wil­ ton Park, Blackburn. Mrs


Chew is the daughter of the gentleman in tlic centre of the picture, the late Tom Hargreaves. A local expert in the art, be trained the ■ Whalley Morris Girls, and

ladies oil the picture is un­ known, Perhaps some of our


older readers will recognise a face.

A BLOT ON THE LOCAL LANDSCAPE


MAY I say thank you for drawing attention, in a recent Whalley Window, to a most unattractive spot in our local countryside. The residents in Lime-


m mm *


fieid Avenue are in lull agreement.


Six m o n l l i s ago the


householders who have the misfortune to look out on to this landscape formed a committee endeavouring to prevent further disfigura­ tion by the NWEB, who had been granted permission by Whalley parish, Clitheroe Rural, Lancashire County and West Riding County Councils to erect 96 roles ifrorn Whalley to Clitheroe to carry 3 x l'.lOOv cables.


How much more pleasant


the local countryside would have been without these poles and overhead cables. If only our councillors had given a little more thought, to what they were sanction­ ing before agreeing to the NWEB request. .This entire project is a monument to bad planning, lack of fore­ sight and inefficiency by all concerned.


EYESORE I t is noted with interest


that the writer of Whalley Window did not mention the latest blot on the landscape. These are seven poles re­ cently erected in this un­ attractive spot to carry the three high-tension cables.


Also another eyesore is not BOROUGH OF CLITHEROE


MAYOR’S SUNDAY JUNE 3rd, 1 9 7 3


The Worshipful the Mayor (Councillor Richard


Turner) proposes to attend Mass at St. Michael and St. John’s Catholic, Church, Lowergate, Clitheroe, on Sunday morning, June 3rd next, and trusts he may be accompanied in procession, to the church by residents and in particular by those serving in a public capacity or in the various social and welfare organisations in the Borough. Mass commences at 11-0 a.m.


The arrangements are as follows:


(1) All organisations participating should be assembled in Church Street by 10-30 a.m. prompt. Personnel (except the Mayor’s party as mentioned below) should report to the Police Officers marshalling the procession.


(2) Uniforms, armlets, badges or other distinguishing marks should be worn: fonner Mayors are reminded that it is customary for medallions to be worn on this occasion.


(3) Aldermen, Councillors and Officials, Magistrates and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Borough, should


assemble at the Town Hall. The Mayor will receive at 10-15 a.m.


(4) The route for the procession will be: Market P la c e - King Lane—Lowergate. On reaching the entrance to the church the procession will open out on each side of the road and allow the Mayor and his party


to pass through: the Band to go past the entrance and face about.


(5) The return route for the procession will be: Lower- gate—Moor Lane—Castle Street—Market P la c e - Church Street. On the termination of the Service the procession will be reformed and accompany the Mayor back to the Town Hall where it will open out again, allow the Mayor and his party to pass through and then disperse.


The Mayor trusts the various individuals and Organisations will support him on this occasion.


LUND—WALKER Married at Clitheroe

Ann Waggett, Clare Parker and Karen Southern. They wore Empire-line dresses of cerise, edged with matching lace. The chief bridesmaid wore a white • wide-brimmed hat and carried a Victorian

Graliame Walker, the bride's brother, and groomsmen Mr Roger Walker and Mr John Walker, brothers of the bride. Ushers were Mr Alan Rawsthorne and Mr James Greenwood. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J . C. Hudson, and organist was Mr C. Myers. After a reception at the

every effort will be made by all in the avenue to assist in repeating Whallcy’s l a s t year’s success in the " Best Kept Village ’’ competition. Would the parish council


assist in tidying up this unattractive black spot?

Coun. Bert Jones declared


that only good could come from having a man of Coun. Chadwick's experience as deputy chairman.

Many of our vil­ lages have already lost their public transport link with the outside world. What happens to the old folk hi these villages? It is no answer to claim that the buses are unused.
