Mrs Fergusson is against

Lowergate — but it is often crowded and i t is difficult to manoeuvre on and off it," she said. “ I t is also used a great deal by traders’ vans.”

DRAMA in the Whalley pageant as Christ falls under the weight of the cross They crucified Him


WHALLEY'S pageant of the Crucifixion, enacted in the village streets and Abbey grounds on Good Friday, may well become an annual event, judging by its popularity.


Hundreds of people who turned out to watch the


proceedings found them- seives natural extras in a crowd which followed the action of Christ's passion from place to place, jostling for position to witness various scenes.

said organiser Mr Dennis Cassidy, of Whittam Road. ‘ A number of spectators found the pageant very moving, and the respect shown by the crowd raised the level of performance.


" Those taking part felt


they had achieved some- tiling by showing what their faith meant to them, and I believe that this event has strengthened Christianity in Whalley."


Although future pageants


were a matter for 'discussion, lie hoped they would learn


from the experience and be able to make certain . im­ provements in visibility.

his customers were often un­ able to find a parking space in Moor Lane. “My trade will definitely suffer if the

parking on Lowergate tended to increase safety. “ Traffic there slows down because of stationary vehicles," he said. “ The council also in­ tends to widen the footpath on the opposite side of the road to the double yellow lines, but I have never known a serious accident to hap­ pen there.” Said Mr Walmsley: “ The


present car park which holds about twice the number of cars that can park at the roadside is not, on its own, sufficient. And it is roughly- surfaced and often two inches deep in water.” Not everyone shares the traders’ views however.

Clitheroe Advertiser and Times


SCORES of people in Barrow turned out to watch the death of a local landmark — the 180ft


chimney at the


print works. It took demolition experts


the best part of three days to drop the chimney, which lias stood sentinel over the village for nearly 60 years.


The chimney, containing


an estimated third of a million bricks, crashed on to a cleared area of land behind Trafford Gardens — land formerly used as the village cricket pitch.


Within seconds of the


final brick coming to rest dozens of youngsters swarmed on to the pile to take a closer look at the damage.


Many of the onlookers T I M B E R I


Dies in hospital 11 days after husband


A 91-YEAR-OLD Clitheroe woman who was found un­ conscious by the body of her husband has died in hospital.


Mrs Margaret Dobson died


in Queen’s Park Hospital, Blackburn, on Monday, II days after being found at the bottom of the stairs near her dead husband at their home in Hayhurst Street.:


Ato Dobson, who had been in .-ailing health, was


thought to have gone down­ stairs when her husband Robert f 79j did not answer her calls. She collapsed after finding him at the


bottom of the stairs. Mrs Dobson was born at


The Mount, Goosnargh, now known as Hill Chapel. She lived with her family at Loud Mytham Farm, near Chipping, attending St Mary’s School there.


Mrs Dobson was a rela­

Unused for the past 10 Until it closed a little over


a year ago, the print works had been in operation since the early 1800s, apart from a short break during the depression. At one time it employed 500 people, and it was because of the mill that Barrow village itself came into being.


Used for a spell as a bar­


racks for the East Lancs Regiment, the works re­ opened in 1948. But by 1965 only 160 people worked there, and in 1971 the last 20 employees were trans­ ferred elsewhere. Originally a private concern, the Whalle.v Abbey Printing Co., as it was then known, it became part of the Calico Printers’ Association in 1910.


Supervising at the site


during the felling operations were Mr A. Graydon, of English Calico’s general en­ gineering department, Mr E. Arden, of the property de­ partment, and Mr T. Brown- hill, fire and safety officer.

RIBBLE Motor Services is putting on an extra three journeys on the Clitheroe- Sabden service from next weekend for a three-month trial.


Future of the service will

The hospital staff presented Mrs Hodgson with a bouquet and she received plants and chocolates from the Hospi­ tal Management Committee. Other gifts included a plant from Clitheroe Rotary Club and a knitted knee rug from the Inner Wheel. Four generations of rela­
