Yellow lines — so Chipping is cllosen


BBC film men despaired of authentic Bronte back­ grounds in the sisters’ home village of Haworth — so they chose Chip­ ping instead.


T h e p r o b l em at


Haworth was the prolifer­ ation of yellow “no park­ ing" lines, hardly suited to the mid-Victorian horse cab days.


So when the BBC ver­


sion of “Wuthering Heights” goes on screen in October, the back­ ground for the exterior filming will be Chipping village.

Players want a pair of dogs


A CLITHEROE drama group is looking for a couple of top dogs. The qualifica­ tions are that they must look sophisticated — and be guaranteed not to have stage fright nor misbehave in the public eye. The Parish Church Play­


ers are staging “A Midsum­ mer Night’s Dream” in an open-air production at the Castle bandstand. And producer Mrs Mar­


garet Smith wants the dogs for a particular scene. They are to be led on stage by Gladys Sutcliffe in the role of Hippolyta. Her husband, Mr Garth

Sutcliffe, who is publicising the production, said: “Ide­ ally the dogs would be afghans or salukis — dogs which look sophisticated. “Someone suggested wol­

Smashed window


AFTER his step-father had told him to find somewhere else to live, an 18-year-old Clitheroe youth smashed a window in the front door of the family house in Seedall

Caravan for gold award rejected


THE Ribble Valley Council’s Development Com­ mittee has refused permission for a caravan in Chipping which would be used by young people trying to gain Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. The St Helen s Duke of

that it would be used by people aged 14-25 doing three or four-night expedi­ tions as part of the gold

tional and non-vocational, had been “tremendous” and included 140 classes at Brockhall, Calderstones and Lan-

basic skills of reading, writing and counting, and such subjects as home economics.


Mr Smith also revealed that 80


students were taking part in adult literacy — instruction in reading and writing.


He said the classes represented “a


complete cross section” of society, including successful businessmen.


Ramblers are at their peak


CLITHEROE Ramblers walked from the Bull Hotel at Broughton, near Skipton, along field paths to the village of Carleton.


From here they began a strenuousclimbover Ram- shaw, a little frequented moor with glorious views.


The party descended into Lothersdale and followed the Pennine Way north­ wards to the summit of Pinhaw Beacon.


The fells and mountains stood out clearly, from Pendle in the west to Buckden Pike in the east with Ingleborough in the north and Boulsworth Pike to the south.


The party then reluctantly left this magnificent van­ tage point behind and fol­ lowed the Pennine Way down into Thornton-in- Craven before catching the bus hack to Clitheroe.


Next week will be led by Mrs Ve r a Mor t ime r around Stocks on June 24th. Catch 10-45 a.m. Sl a i dbur n bus f rom Clitheroe station.
