‘king’of puddings


THE Lancashire black pud*, ding has taken a sudden boost to fame since the Vicar of Whitewell, the 1167. Arthur Higginson, spoke’ about its merits on local radio and BBC television’s! “Nationwide” programme. : After a black pudding


evening'at the Whitewell Hotel, the VicaiJ suggested th e pudding /should be regarded as highly as the Scots regard the haggis, and be “toasted” and washed down with good Lancashire ale. Since then many budding


poets and writers of: verse, have contacted Mr Higgin­ son with their own versions of an “Ode to the king of the English pudding race. — the black pudding.” All the writers said how


much they had enjoyed the programme and agreed it was a good idea to have black pudding ceremonies. S t G e o r g e ’s Day was suggested as a suitable date. Delighted with the stan­


dard of the poems, Mr Hig­ ginson is proposing — with permission — to put them in a booklet so that others might share them at future black pudding nights in the. shire. • If this comes about, the

stop lorries from using the road as a link between the Whalley-Clitheroe bypass and Chatburn, the councils Public Works and Health Committee was told this week. Members decided, how­


ever, to back Chatburn Parish Council in its objection to the limit on hearing that its intro­ duction would force heavy goods vehicles heading for the village to use the Pimlico Link Road instead. Coun. Herbert Boden, representing the par­ ish council, explained that the link road’s junction with the bypass was considered sub­ standard and a safety hazard, while its junction with Chat­ burn Road was, because of the siting of bollards, a problem for large vehicles. Chief Technical Officer Mr


Dennis Black told the meeting that the County had already put in hand work to improve the Chatburn Road junction. The Whalley-Clitheroe bypass was, however, a trunk road and improvement of its junc­ tion with the link road was the responsibility of the Depart ment of the Environment. The committee supported a


proposal by Coun. Albert Ast- ley (Bolton-by-Bowland) that the Ribble Valley Council should support the parish council in opposing the weight r e s t r i c t io n o rd e r until improvements have been made to the bypass junction

There was no one in the’

But as Mr Doodson made,


his way back at 11-15, the beacon could he seen for miles around and 30 firemen were tackling the 50ft flames..


“When I first saw the


flames I knew it could only be the Moorcock . . ; it’s so iso­ lated,” he said. “There was nothing we could do but stand and watch it burn.”


The first that 29-year-old


Mr Poole knew of the fire was when Mrs Sallie Gorton, licen­ see of the Red Pump Inn, Bashall Eaves, within sight of th e Moorcock, ran g his Accrington home to commis­ erate with him.


He raced to the scene by car


with his father Jack, for whom it was a particularly traumatic experience. “It was a case of reliving the night I watched my shop burn down in Burnley four years ago,” said Mr Poqle sen. “I rebuilt the business and I think Anthony could well do the same with the Moorcock.” ’

at 10-50 and as the' flames took hold they were flooded by 999 calls. But their task' was almost' a hopeless one: from the beginning. ■ Fanned: by’ wind' coming

Betty (47) took over about a month ago at the hall which caters for members of the Civil Service Motoring Organ­ isation! For the past nine years they


have had the Grange and Links Hotel at Sutton-on-Sea, Lincolnshire. The couple have two sons,


18-year-dld Paul, a manage-' ment sciences student at UMIST, and 26-year-old Pip, who at the beginning of next month is taking over as man­ ager of the Roefield Hotel, Clitheroe. Paul is a keen golfer and has


played for the Lincolnshire county team. Mr Marlow’s main hobby is also golf, but at present he is having difficulty, finding a local club with vac­ ancies. However, he and his wife both enjoy walking and the Ribble Valley offers unli­ mited.scope in that field. Mrs Marlow is also an enthusiastic flower arranger. Said Mr Marlow: “We


already think the Ribble Val­ ley is a fantastic area, but the thing that has staggered us most of all is the friendliness of the locals. Everywhere you go people have time to stop and chat and we have told


;friends in .Lincolnshire that living here is almost like being on another planet. ' To encourage local mem-


. bers of the motoring organisa­ tion to visit the hall, Mr and Mrs Marlow arranged a spe­ cial Valentine’s dance on Saturday, attended .by'.mi than 70 people. There are plans to hold


socials there on the third Saturday of the month. “We hope members will


support the socials and they are quite welcome to bring their friends along. There will be dancing, food will be avail­ able and, of course, there is always the bar,” said Mr Marlow. At present he is quite sur­ prised that so very few of the


: organisation’s members — there are 10,000 within a 20- mile radius — use the club’s extensive.facilities, which are open every day from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. ,

Mr Wilson (Frank) is Liberals’ choice!


THE Liberal party’s new prospective parliamentary candidate for the Clitheroe division is Mr Frank Wilson, of Chorley.


Mr Wilson, was elected


at a meeting of the Clitheroe Division Liberal Association a t Whalley Old Grammar School on Tuesday.


He su c c e e d s Mr Bill


Roberts, of Barrowford, who is at present on the short-list fo r an o th e r division and decided to stand down in Clitheroe.


Mr Wilson was short-listed


along with Mr Ivan Cooper, of Haslingden, who fought Accrington for the Liberals at the last two general elections.


Mr Wilson received most


votes in a secret ballot and said he was pleased to accept the post. He thanked mem­ bers for their vote of confi­ dence and assured them he would be working hard for the Liberal cause in the Clitheroe division.


Mr Wilson, who hails from


South Wales, is married with four children. For the past 10 years he has been with a firm which supplies educational laboratory equipment and is currently senior technical rep­ resentative.


He has previously stood as a


local government candidate fo r the Chorley Borough Council and Lancashire County Council elections.

Bid to solve flooding


Public Works and Health Committee this week.


Chief Technical Officer Mr


Dennis Black told the commit­ tee that a new and larger outfall sewer was urgently required in order to solve the problem. Hearing that such a scheme would be the responsi­ bility of the North West Water Authority, members agreed to put in a request for the work to be done.


The new sewer would run


from Waddington Road to a /small brook behind Clitheroe gas works and tlje cost, said a Ribble Valley Council spokes­ man after the meeting, would probably be between £10,000 and £20,000.


The committee also gave its


approval to a proposed relief scheme1 ait Chipping, where flooding in Talbot Street has been a problem for a number of years. The plan is to replace ex is tin g pipes in Church Raike and Kirklands with larger'diameter ones and to provide a new outfall into Chipping Brook.' Estimated cost of the schfeme is £7)500 and the County Surveyor has suggested that the cost should be shared equally between the Regional .Water Authority ■ and the Ribble-Valley Council.

Magistrates’ faith in man rewarded


A MAN who stole two brass candlesticks from Whalley Parish Church, but was given a last chance by the court to keep out of trouble, had made a great effort to pull himself out of the rut, his solicitor told Clitheroe Magistrates. • William - Taylor (34), of George Street, Blackpool, had been convicted at a previous b e a r in g of s tealin g the candlesticks, worth.£10, and obtaining £8.73 by means of a forged cheque. He’ had also asked for nine


other offences mainly in the Clitheroe and Whalley areas to be taken into consideration. But after hearing reports,


the magistrates deferred sentence to give .him the opportunity of holding down a job and steering clear of trouble. . Taylor’s solicitor Mr J. L.


Lumley said his client had rewarded the magistrates' faith in him by doing just that. ■ Taylor was put on probation


for a year and was ordered to pay, restitution of £159.46.

child care. The morning was spent in


small study groups looking at subjects such as language dif­ ficulties, art and craft, music and movement and general child development. In the afternoon, every­


body came together to discuss their findings with officials of the social services, and the senior adviser for adult educa­ tion in Lancashire, Mr David


Selby. As a follow-up to the con­


ference, social service work­ ers will be visiting playgroups in the Ribble Valley to assess their individual needs. Mr Jeff Smith, District


Principal for Adult Education in the Ribble Valley, attended the meeting, which was enti­ tled “Young children and


you." He said that eventually


classes could he set up lo edu­ cate playgroup supervisors and helpers in the individual areas of child care discussed. “There already exists a gen­


eral year-long course for these people,” said Mr Smith. “But most find this too time- consuming, so the ideal thing would be lo have short courses on individual sub­ jects.”


Mr Smitli can see a situation


where a class studying lan­ guage difficulties, for inst ance, would be run at Whalley adult education centre, while a course on art and craft was being run, say, in Blackburn. Each centre would run a


course in each subject for period — thus giving "pupils" in all areas a chance to learn without much travelling.
