Loose stones danger


THE Ribble Valley Coun­ cil has written to British Rail chairman Sir Peter Parker urging that some­ thing is done immediately to make safe several loose coping stones at Clitheroe station. ,


The unsafe stones are


on a wall behind the old passenger platform, just a


few feet from the public footpath to Kirkmoor


Road.' At a meeting of the


council’s Development Sub Committee, Coun. John Cow'gill (Clitheroe)


said that if a stone fell while somebody was walk­ ing along the footpath, they could be killed. When Coun. Cowgill re­


called that he had raised the matter three months ago, deputy planning of­ ficer Mr Peter Nock said a letter had been sent to BR and a reply received to the effect that the wall would be repaired when the rail company had


time. But the sub-committee


agreed with Coun. Cow- gill that something should be done immediately.


bear which “guards” a corner of the pub. It once belonged to the Essex Barn Restaurant, Brain­ tree, scene of a murder in the 1960s that claimed the life of the owner’s wife. John’s collection also in­


cludes a “scold’s bridle,” a device for keeping quiet


nagging wives! Then there is a clock­


ing-in machine from the oldest mill at Haworth


and a Greback fish caught off South Africa in 1894.


One item not on display


is a Pholyphon, a Victo­ rian ancestor of today’s


record player. The collectors’ items


have aroused interest from as far away as Canada and New Zealand, say the couple, who plan to move to Blackpool before Christmas.


John says his collection .


“just snowballed” after he acquired the first gun. He explains simply “You get hooked.”

Looking to the future of Stocks Reservoir


A MANAGEMENT scheme designed to ease existing problems at Stocks Reservoir, rather than to attract more people into the area, has been ap­ proved by the Ribble Valley Council’s Plan­ ning ‘ and Transporta­ tion Committee. The scheme, which was


exhibited in the Council Offices a couple of months ago to allow interested groups and members of the public to comment, will now be forwarded to the North-West Water


Authority. Most amenity and


sporting organisations in the area, such as the


Rambler’s Association, have offered suggestions, and amendments on public access and fishing have been made.

These deal with the All those consulted

have agreed that wildlife and bird life of the area should be protected, by


agreed that landscaping should take place_ along­ side the main traffic route through the area, to pro­ vide an attractive drive with a good view of the


reservoir. Access to the reservoir


bank is, however, consi­ dered dangerous by the NWWA and is not to be


allowed at present. The use of fishing boats


is to be restricted to six in a specific area. Nature conservationists and the CPRE are totally opposed to other forms of sport taking place on the reser­ voir and this conclusion has been accepted by var­ ious water sports bodies at regional level. The NWWA has made it clear that there are a


number of operational reasons making Stocks unsuitable for other sports, though the ques­ tion of occasional use by the local Sub-Aqua Club will be looked into. The idea of establishing


some form of management structure to monitor the operation of the scheme has been welcomed by the majority of those con­


sulted. The aim is to create a


group with representa­ tives from all the main interested parties, meet­ ing on an annual basis to assess any problems
