■ Skipton’s premier historic monument must surely be the ancient castle, established hun­ dreds of years ago on the brink of a perpen­ dicular rock which provided an ideal site. For centuries, it stood as a symbol of strength and solidarity, even withstanding a three-year siege by the Roundheads in-the Civil War. The days of conflict are now long gone, and today the castle slumbers gently, dreaming perhaps of grander times ana fulfilling a very different role — that of one of the area’s best-known tourist attractions.

WISWELL man John Tempest Moran, of Pend­ leton Road, was fined £15 and ordered to pay £5 costs at Clitheroe for fail­ ing to stop for a policeman. Mr Graham Gertson, prosecuting, said a police car had followed Moran (20) in Pendle Road, Clitheroe, and flashed for him to stop. When he did not, the
