Gift to


school WHALLEY CE School is treasuring a rare gift


from a former pupil. It is a book, dated 1800,

entitled “An History of the Original Parish of Whalley and Honor of Clitheroe in the Counties of Lancaster and York.”


The 472-page volume


was presented to the school by Mr F. Rawclif- fe, whose father was headmaster at the turn of the century.


Mr Rawcliffe, now


living in Plymouth, do­ nated the book, a family possession, while in the North visiting relatives. Headmaster Mr Colin

Armstrong described the gift as “very generous” and said the school will use it for historical re­ search. “We do quite a lot of


environmental study and this will help,” he said. This year, Whalley


School celebrates the centenary of its junior wing, which was opened as part of the former Na­ tional School.

, now 21, has never The Rimington lad who


won the modern and Latin juvenile world championship at the age of 11 has now made his first television appear­ ance,- seen by viewers helping the North East to defeat Wales on “Come Dancing.”


Since the programme was recorded, he and


his partner, fiancee Angela Hartley, have turned professional.


By day, Michael, son of


Gordon and J oy ce Gorrighan, of Rimington Post Office, works as a television engineer in Clitheroe. When evening falls, he


tunes in to the world of dance, teaching Latin, modern, disco and sequ­ ence dancing with Angela at the Royal Dance Club in Clayton-le-Moors. Michael’s interest stems


from when his family used to take him to see his elder sister Wendy and brother Tony take part in competitions. He started following in their footsteps as a three-


year-old and when 15 won the junior international ballroom championship at the A lb e r t Hall in London. Michael and partner


Angela, of Batley, West Yorkshire, became York­ shire amateur ballroom champions last autumn.

SOLDIERING is a family affair for the Phillips, of Hurst Green, with four sons serving in the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. The youngest in the


family of six sons — 18- year-old Steven — recent­ ly joined his brothers John (25), David (23) and Paul (21) at Catterick. The boys, who will


serve in the Falkland Is­ lands later this year, are following in father’s foot­ steps. Mr William Phillips was- a Sergeant Major with the regiment until 1976, when he left to take up the post of RSM with Stonyhurst School Cadet Force. He lives with his wife Marga ret at Shireburn Cot tag es, Hurst Green. His eldest son Peter

latvre^Notesd


AS we move into midsummer all our trees are in full leaf and it is a good time to appreciate their beauty. Rather than write about common trees, I want to say somethiny this month about a species which only has a toe-hold locally. As a wild tree, the hornbeam is confined to


the south eastern counties, though there are a few specimens in Lancashire. I t belongs to the


same family as the hazel, but grows up to 75 feet high, resembling a beech in shape. Like the beech it is used for hedging because it withstands cutting well, with the added advan­ tage that it is not damaged by grazing animals. Due to its slow growth, the hornbeam is not


noted as a timber tree, though its tough wood was formerly considered to be the most suitable material for cam-wheels and cog-wheels in mills. I t was also used for tool handles, wooden screws and rollers, as well as being an excellent firewood. Most tree trunks have a circular cross section


with heart wood and sap wood clearly defined. There is no apparent heartwood in the horn­ beam and its section is irregular, due to the tree’s most characteristic feature, the longitudi­ nal fluting which spirals up the trunk. This can be seen on the fine specimen which grows by the roadside at Littlemoor. The tree is wind pollinated and the resulting


fruit is a nut Vj-'Ain. long, with a three-lobed wing which enables it to be dispersed by wind. As an ornithologist, I always look at hornbeams be­ cause the nut is one o f the favourite foods of that elusive bird, the hawfinch.


TONY COOPER Spugging and bobbing on AMONG the


curiosities and odds and ends that have1 come my way over the years are three or four marbles — you know the kind I mean — the sort we all played with in the school playground when we were very young. These differ a little


from the. ordinary marbles we used to buy for they are home-made; little balls of clay which had once been baked in an oven or before the fire until they were rock hard. How they came into my possession makes an interesting story. Over 20 years ago —


how time does fly — a friend bought a little old cottage in King Street on


his retirement. Naturally, the property having been


somewhat neglected by previous owners, certain renovations were neces­ sary and, in due course, my friend decided to lay a new bedroom floor. The original floor — it


had been there at least 200; perhaps even 300 years — was in a pretty poor condition. It was uneven, the timbers had shrunk and there were wide cracks between the short oak boards held in position with hand-forged nails.


W h a l l e y W i n d o w


When the boards were


tom up; a pretty tough and dirty job I assure you, to our mutual sur­ prise the cavities twixt the floor and ceiling below were found to be stuffed with wisps of wool and wisps of cotton. “Ah! Early heat conser­


vation,” was my first thought but, on reflection, both friend and I agreed on what we both thought was a more likely reason for the stuffing. We were only guessing,


of course, but our joint deduction was, at some time in the past and for a quite lengthy period, the room had been used for handloom weaving. And, lying amid these


relics of a former cottage industry were these old marbles — more than a dozen of them altogether — playthings of children who had lost them in gen­ erations long past. Holding them in the


hand it was not difficult to imagine the tears and frustrated cries that would have arisen when these childhood treasures rolled through the unkind­ ly cracks.


Not su rp r is in g ly ,


either, to find memories flooding back; memories o f schooldays; rings chalked or scratched on a level area of the tar- macadamed playground; of childhood games that too frequently ended in a bout of fisticuffs. I suppose that 60 years


ago, we were fortunate; we "didn’t have to bake our own marbles; we could buy them at 10 for tuppence at Rigby’s, in Waterloo, and, if we were financially flush, we might even buy two or three blood alleys (the glass marbles with veins of col­ oured glass running through and each worth three or four ordinary


marbles in a straight swap.) Then we had ‘ pop


alleys’ , too; the plain, almost green marbles from the tops of mineral water bottles — bottles which today are sold at £2 or £3 each in the antique shops but which youngs­ ters of my generation smashed without com­ punction to obtain the “glassy” in the bulbous neck. All a long time ago and


to see children playing marbles. They don’t know the pleasures of spugging and bobbing on in the gut­ ters on the way to and from school. But readers of my own


generation will remember — that is if they can tear themselves away from the amazing e le c t r o n ic gadgets and playthings their grandchildren will undoubtedly possess. They are much more fun than clockwork trains!


J . F .


today I don’t even re­ member the season of the year when marble time came around, as it annual­ ly did. Or the skipping and hopscotch seasons, either, for that matter. Nowadays it is unusual
