Landlord's motor cycle expertise aids trainees


THE new motor cycle test which comes in next January could mean the end of the road for many Clitheroe trainee riders, says Gordon Miller, licen­ see of the Buck Inn, Clitheroe. So he has started his


own club to help them through. “A lot of them would


fail the new test, says 43- year-old Mr Miller, “and if they do not pass within


two years, they are banned from the road for


12 months.” The Ribble Valley


Motor Cycle Training School meets at Edisford School every Saturday and anybody interested in


joining should contact Mi- Miller at the Buck Inn, Lowergate.


Mr Miller, who was at


one time Chief Training Instructor at Blackburn,


has a large road bike and a vintage machine. His interest is shared by his son Gary, a pupil of


’.Ribblesdale School, who has two motor bikes and is having a successful first season riding for a club in Rossendale. PICTURE: Concentra­

FOR 50 years, the voice of Mr William Jacques has been heard in the choir of St John’s Church, Hurst Green. And his many years as

confirmed a relationship •with the Eatough family which had been estab­ lished in Whalley ever since the early 14th cen­ tury. It was the belief of the Clitheroe historian, the late Arthur Langshaw (who was, of course, a Whalley man) that the earliest Eatoughs of whom we have knowledge were Flemish woodcar- vers, brought from their native land to work on the abbey then in the course of construction. From that time on the

of the family appeared to have worked with wood. There is a reference in the 1873 ed it ion o f Whitaker’s History and, from Baynes Directory of 1825, we learn that Adam Eatough of this village was “wood steward.” Then however, as the Industrial Revolution adv­


anced, the Eatoughs began to diversify their work; they acquired new skills and worked as blacksmiths and wheel­ wrights and again these facts are confirmed by local records. These th in gs Dr

fortunate man, for while past historians have put on record detailed family trees of the distinguished families of the parish, they made but scant re­

Eatough and I chewed over together and then emerged another interest­ ing detail; a daughter of the family had intermar­ ried with the Hartley family, so very much in­ volved in the foundation of the Methodist Church in the village; yet another line we were able to follow up together. Forunately, I was able


to help with detail not recorded, for there are still Eatoughs resident in the district with whom I have spoken from time to time. So the doctor was able to leave with numer­ ous notes to add to his records; his family tree had grown several addi­ tional branches and he de­ parted with considerable satisfaction in which I was able to share. .Names that had been

Strange reflections


CUSTOMERS thought they were in the hall of mirrors when they tried their new outfits at the Lady Jayne Boutique in Wellgate, Clitheroe. For instead of looking ravish­ ing they looked . . . short and squat.


Proprietor Miss Judith


Dinsdale, of Alder House, B o l t o n -b y -B ow la n d ,


laughed: “The mirrors" I had fitted in the shop had warped away from the wall and it gave a really funny effect.”


However, workmen are


remedying the situation and, says Judith, “now they will be able to see themselves in all their glory.”


Back in action


COMPUTER enthusiasts who turned up for the first meeting of a new micro-computer club at West Bradford last week went . home disappointed . . . the meeting was can­ celled because the organ­ iser fell ill.


Thornton-Bryar, of South- field Drive, West Brad­ ford, who was whisked off to hospital with a kidney infection, is now fit and well and the first meeting is to go ahead on Monday night.

canteen at Pendle Carpets Mill, West Bradford, at 7 p.m. Anyone needing further details can contact Mr T h o rn ton -B ry a r (Clitheroe 25933). .
