Sharon and Ian team up for togetherness
CHATBURN rally driver Ian Parrington never comes home with any “hard luck” stories.
His wife Sharon knows
better than most what sort of driving performance he has put up in any competi tion. For as Ian (20), of Darkwood Crescent, is busy behind the wheel, Sharon (20), is right by his side, pouring over maps and ensuring he stays on the right route.
The husband and wife
crew have only been rally ing for Clitheroe and dis trict Motor Club for a few months, but already they are going places. Some weeks ago they notched a team prize when they finished 15th out of 75 in the Bolton-le-Moors Club man’s rally over a gruelling 140-mile course. Even if the couple have
a “tiff” at home, it is soon forgotten when they gear up for a race. “ Sharon is a f in e
navigator and will be even better with experience,” said Ian. “The only time she scolds me is when she thinks I should be driving faster,” he said. Ian, who used to take

Abbey’s days of glory
HAVE you been to Sawley Abbey (or Sal ley as the old spelling had it) lately? You haven’t? Then if you are at all interested in the historic treasures of our valley, you really ought to make an early opportunity to go there. I remember my first

please permit me to have a gentle moan. Only three of these hundreds of sites are here in Lancashire. We are indeed fortunate that two of the three are here in our own borough. It is admitted that every
one of the sites for which th e Dep a rtme n t
is
responsible is very well worth preserving but, as they are all paid for out of public monies, I think it is high time a lot more of that money was spent here in our own county. In some counties the
number of sites preserved and cared for runs into double figures and more; in comparison only three in Lancashire is really quite
pitiful. Perhaps I shall be told
that here in the north country there' just aren’t the sites to preserve, but this I would dispute. There are lots and lots of
'em, as archaeologists can testify, and if dozens of them have been allowed to crumble away until hardly a single stone juts above the ground, there is a great deal to reveal beneath the green turf. For example, what
about the site at Easington where so much valuable work has been undertaken by amateurs in recent years? What about the "Department putting a bit of money into that project? After all, we pay the bill at the end of the day. And one other thought.

In the last few decades hundreds and hundreds of cotton mills upon which the one-time prosperity of the county, and in large part, of the country once depended, have been demolished and have van ished without trace. Surely some of these
