Clitheroe 22324 (Editorial), 22323 (Advertising). Burnley 22331 (Classified) 6 Clitheroe AdveHiser and Times, August 15th, 1985 Bill’s an expert in the art


of graining and marbling ...and has 40 years ’experience behind him


.S t * . '


CELEBRATING 25 years of business and 40 years in the trade this year is Clitheroe painter and decorator Bill Holgate. Bill started out in


the t rad e at the tender age of 14, straight after leaving SS Michael and John’s RC School. He found work with George Houlker and


Sons, who were based at Bawdlands. The firm had been estab­ lished for about 80 years and gave Bill the best start he could have hoped for. He also worked for several years for the


late Mr F ran c is Nutter, which was a valuable experience. Bill"' has spent a lifetime in the trade,


apart from two years’ National Service in the 50s, and in that time has amassed great knowledge and experience — particu­ larly in the field of graining and marbl­ ing. In fact he spent three nights a week for seven years study­ ing this art at Black- bum Tech. So dedicated to this


particular skill is Bill that he and his wife


June have, on several occasions, while stay­ ing with their daugh­ ter in London, visited top hotels such as the Savoy and the Wal­ dorf just so that Bill could learn from the graining and marbling


patterns so beautifully displayed there. As Bill points out,


this sort of decoration can look equally as ef­ fective used in the more modem home, in such places as the bathroom or hall, for instance.


Graining and espe­


cially marbling can be done in any colour, from the palest shades to the deepest, so any colour scheme require­


ments can be achieved. But, on top of this,


Bill is always pleased, of course, to tackle the more usual paint­ ing and decorating jobs.


When not up a


ladder dressecl in overalls, Bill likes no­ thing better than to take trips out with his wife visiting places of historical interest, especially those with grained panels and marble-effect walls and pillars. He also enjoys read­


ing about architecture and is a bit of an his­ torian. “Did you know that the art of grain­ ing and m a rb lin g

Fewer entries but competition keen at Rimington WI show


COMPETITION was as keen as ever at the 38th Rimington W I handicraft and pro­ duce show, although entries were slightly down on last year. Show committee chair­


man Mrs M. Bairstow welcomed the many vis­ itors to the show in the Memorial Institute, and thanked everyone who had worked so hard to ensure the smooth run­ ning of the event, in par­ ticular the show com­ mittee, Mrs Florence Smithies, former LFWI county


president, opened the show and also presented the trophies to winners of the various sections. Mark Downing presented the platform party with dress sprays and gave Mrs Smithies a china beaker decorated with the words and music of Francis


Duckworth’ s hymn “Rimington.” The many visitors were able to view the magnificent display of exhibits. Teas were also served. The coveted Coronation Cup


for most points in the show was


won by Mrs Ethel Hartley. Mrs Linda Pollitt took home the Birtwistle cup for the best home-grown cut flowers and


the fluted goblet for pot plants. The Eva Bulcock Memorial rose bowl for the best exhibit and the Barlow cup for best handicraft exhibit went to Mrs Sheila Holden. Mrs Sheila Jones won the


pewter tankard for best veget­ able exhibit and the straight goblet for best preserve went to Mrs Mary Bairstow. Mrs Christine Thistlethwaite


MRS Ethel Hartley, who won the cup for most


points in the show, with the painted plate which earned her a first prize.

He has read that in


the British Museum there is a bill of sale for work done in the Tower of London sev­ eral centuries ago. The craftsman in­ volved had carried out some graining and the bill even described some of the materials -used, including rotten-


stone . . . probably the answer before wet and dry appeared on the scene.
