Eileen has noticed a


few raised eyebrows-from opponents since she made her snooker debut at the beginning of the season, but on the whole she has been accepted quite hap­ pily by the mfen.


Her only opposition


came when the - team played at a strictly alt male club in.Great Har-

Part of old Clitheroe


A RELIC of old Clitheroe has been discovered while carrying out alterations at Ken Varey’s fishing tackle shop in - Market Place, Clitheroe.


An old well has been


discovered in the car park of the shpp, underneath . a man-hole cover. The


| stone-built shaft goes down about 20ft-. and is half-full of .water. '


Said Mr Varey: “It is


certainly a genuine well, but how old it is I just don’t know.” He would be glad to hear from anyone who knows about its history.


Mr Varey is considering


making a feature of the well sometime in the future, although there is a problem because of its position in the car park.

SUNDAY AND,OTHER TIMES BY APPOINTMENT'


SALTHILL played a prominent, part in life during > my younger days in; Clitheroe. It was an “adventure playground”, within i0 minutes walk of our town centre home — even with legs consid­ erably shorter than they are today, but considerably more agile.


n I remember, very vag­ uely, being taken there as


.a toddler of three or four years and, tightly grasped


Whalley Window


by a parental hand, stand­ ing to inhale the fumes from the lime kilns in an effort to cure the whoop­ ing cough from which, at the time, I was suffering. Whether the treatment-


which I was initiated by an older friend, Jim “Bockin.” This was an un­ kindly nickname. Jim was the grandest of mates and later, I believe, had a suc­ cessful career in the police force.


Thus, with this intimate


knowledge of the hill, it is a little odd, perhaps, that until recently I had no curiosity as to how it ac­ quired its name..............


Why was it called


Salthill? It was almost solid


limestone; what connec­ tion’ could it possibly have with-the condiment that appeared on the table every mealtime and made oilr fish and chips or boiled eggs even more palatable? Well, this week I found


out. Or, at any rate, I found a possible, perhaps acceptable, explanation. - In centuries past salt was just as essential and .desirable a commodity as


' it is todky, but far less easy to obtain and so it was carried,to all part's of


was medically prescribed or not I cannot say. It was a highly-recom­ mended treatment among mothers at the time and, in -my' case, followed half* an-hour’s ineffective inha­ lation of the fumes from I'the corporation’s, t a r -


sprayer. Later, we boys went to


Salthill for "sledging, al­ though it was far from being the best run in the district — there were too. many loose stqnes around and Church Brow- was much superior. * . Around the same time, the less precipitious ■ rock


faces presented a constant challenge to Kenneth, Freddie and I who, 'one day,' were quite prepared' to tackle the peaks of E v e r e s t . O r - . s o , w e . thought at,the time. -. - Salthill, too, was an abundant source of supply


. for. the . fossils we : tem­ porarily-collected, ; in-, spired by the permanent


- display on - thewindow • ledges,in the library read-’ ing room.


- -


' At the foot of the hill, I remember, was 'a . little


-1 Mearley Brook where .we went: grubbing, for earth- : nuts —< a free, delicacy • into th e ,- art of-i finding


■ the north country from the salt-mining districts of Cheshire by pack horses. The routes’followed by


these trains of pack horses were named “saltways” or “saltersgates” and, on the way north these can be identified by the word salt, occurring in many .place names. - So, .on the1 Ordnance


Survey maps we can find Saltersbridge. and, in our ‘own district, Salford (or Saltesford) and Salt Hill. . A little ■ further . north,


and to . the east, we-find Salterforth (justly, it won the Best-Kept .-Village award last year) and, in the Whitendale- Valley, Salter Fell, High Salter, Mid Salter • and Lower
