Restaurant plan for


Mitton Hall


MITTON HALL which closed as a night club in 1976, may reopen as a restaurant. A new licence is being sought for the 15th- century building. It was one of several night


clubs hit by an Act of Parlia- ment which made some forms of gaming illegal out­ side designated areas. Since 1976 it has been used as a private residence. The restaurant, planned


to open in July, will be man­ aged by Mr Stewart Burrell, whose family has interests in the Dunkenhalgh Hotel, Clayton-le-Moors. Said Mr Burrell: “The


restaurant will be open seven days a week. We will provide French cuisine for lunches and dinners, and we also plan a cold buffet served from noon to 8 p.m.” Mr Burrell’s father, Mr


Wilfred Burrell, was licen­ see of the Starkie Arms, Clitheroe, in the early ’60s.

Nearly all the events


attracted full entries from 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th-year pupils, except the girls’ 400 metres in which there was only a 4th-year event, won by C. Jones of Clitheroe Grammar School. The meeting was organ


ised by Mr Alan Jones, PE teacher at St Augustine’s, and prizes were presented by former international run­ ner Chris Fey, of Whalley.

LANCASHIRE County Council’s decision not to provide free school milk for seven-to-11-year-olds has been condemned by Mr Lindsay Sutton, Labour prospective parliamentary candidate for the Clitheroe Division.


By refusing to take,up an


EEC subsidy that would have given the youngsters free milk for two terms, the County Education Commit­ tee was rejecting a heaven­ sent opportunity to benefit children’s health for “tawdry and ill-informed reasons,” said Mr Sutton.


Speaking at a consti­


tuency policy-making meet­ ing in the Labour Rooms, Clitheroe, he said: “Some members of the Tory- controlled Education Com­ mittee apparently feel obliged to defend the policy of their leader — ‘Milk- snatcher Thatcher.' “Others have put what they consi­ dered to be cash reasons before health. They are not even being penny wise and pound foolish.


“Up to the summer term


of next year Lancashire County Council would not have had to pay out a penny to provide the county’s youngsters with milk — the


cash would have come from a Common Market fund. After that it would cost a mere lp a child a day accord­ ing to reliable estimates.” Mr Sutton said the deal,


worked out by the Govern- ment, was exceptionally good value for schoolchil­ dren and dairy farmers alike but the Tories had thrown it out “with all the subtlety of a dog on heat.” He felt the free milk


would have benefited chil­ dren who did not have a proper breakfast because their working mums hadn’t time to prepare one. “Some children fast for


the school day and teachers know only too well the results — apathy, careless­ ness, lack of concentration and the tendency to be dis­ ruptive,” he added. “Free school milk would


help minimise this problem and it is an indictment on the authority in question that it has not seen fit to act responsibly.”

A SELECTION of songs and choruses from “Oliver” — the latest production by Clitheroe Royal Grammar School for Boys — formed the entertainment at a party'for some 70 residents of Castleford and Clitheroe Hospital and some 30 housebound people in the town. The party, held annually at the Pendle Club, was


organised by the visiting sub-committee of the Old, People’s Welfare.


A Before the concert, turkey teas were served, fol­


lowed by trifle and cakes.. Chief guest was the Mayoress of Clitheroe, Mrs


Doris Ainsworth. The housebound people were con­ veyed to and from the party by members of the Rotary Club of Clitheroe and Clitheroe Round Table, some of whom gave their passengers a country run first.

Drinks licence


warning A STRONG warning that Clitheroe magistrates will not ju s t “rubber stamp” applications for the occa­ sional licences was given by Mr J . H. G. Macalpine, pres­ iding at Thursday’s court.


Some applications were


being made almost at the last minute and in one it was revealed that bar facilities had already been adver­ tised.


On this occasion the Bench


granted the application but, said Mr Macalpine: “ In future, the magistrates will not grant a licence when bar facilities have been adver­ tised before the application is made. It will not be worth coming to court at short notice."


FINED £40


CLITHEROE motorist Ian Llewellyn (21), of Montague Street, was fined £40 at Clitheroe for driving with­ out due care and attention. His car collided with another vehicle at the junction of Woone Lane and Moor Lane.


JIM DIGS OUT THE FACTS


A CLITHEROE man seeking information which


may help him piece together the history of Bellman Park Quarry. Mr James Hurley, a


member of the Narrow Gauge Railway Society, has been to the quarry and worked out what he feels was the method of trans­ porting the limestone from the quarry face to the lime kiln.


He believes it was loaded


into trucks and pulled along various tracks to a chain haulage line, where the trucks then went to the kiln. Here the finished product was taken away by lorries or trains. But Mr Hurley still thinks


there are many interesting points unanswered. For instance, were the trucks pulled from the quarry face by horses or were they man­ handled? And how were the loads discharged into the kiln?


One of the most fascinat­


ing aspects of the quarry is the type of track used. The angle iron track was mostly replaced at the end of the 19th century by bullhead rail track made of steel. The track at Clitheroe


must have been so efficient that it did not need to be switched. The only similar line Mr Hurley has come across is at a colliery near Bacup. Mr Hurley is so interested


in the quarry, which closed in 1960, that he will be writ­ ing an article about it for the bi-monthly magazine “Nar­ row Gauge News.” He will also be making reconstruc­ tion drawings of the site. Following Mr Hurley’s


investigations, one of the haulage trucks may be pre­ se rv ed by the County museum at Preston. Anyone who can |help Mr


Hurley with information should contact him at 112 Whalley Road, Clitheroe.
