is to close next month and 217 former pupils travel­ led from all over the coun­ try, with one flying from Italy, to be present at a thanksgiving service, fol­ lowed by tea in the village hall. Months of hard work


tracing former pupils and teachers were rewarded as memories were rekin­ dled. The oldest surviving


pupil, Miss Annie Porter (93), mingled with the crowds, sharing her own recollections of days at the school she grew to love.


She first attended at


the age of nine when her father came to Downham to w o rk fo r L o rd Clitheroe. Her education — read­


ing, writing and arithme­ tic — stood her in good stead, for she later went on to teach at Grindleton School.


One of the day’s high­


lights was a display of photographs dating back to 1929. Featured were cuttings and pictures from the film “Whistle Down the Wind” which was made near the village, with some of the pupils taking part. By coinci­ dence the film was shown on te le v is io n in the evening. Visitors included eight members of the Martin

addressed a large congre­ gation in the tiny St Leonard’s Church, which normally seats only 100. Giving thanks for hun­ dreds of years of educa­ tion at the school, choris­


ters Mrs D. Braithwaite, Mrs E. Scott and Mrs J. Hoar sang songs including “Old Pendle” and “Bonny Downham” . Present were Lord and


Lady Clitheroe who had hoped the school’s closure might be reprieved, fol­ lowing a protest by villa­ gers. Now the school is likely


to have a future which will retain its tradition of friendliness and unity — as a possible playgroup base and craft centre.

Blocked way for ambulance


A CLITHEROE man left his pick-up truck in such a way that an ambulance driver could not man­ oeuvre his vehicle past and had to park nearby and carry a patient from her home, C l ith e ro e magistrates were told. David Shaw (37), of


York Street, Clitheroe, was fined £10 for causing an' unnecessary obstruc­ tion. Shaw said he had left


his vehicle in Park Street with two wheels on the footpath to allow traffic to


pass. “ I measured the gap


from the side of the track to a point across the road and I am sure there was enough space for the am­ bulanceman to pass,” he said. At the time of the inci­


dent Shaw was removing rubbish from a home for the mentally handicapped, which he runs with his wife.


£450 boost for church funds h un d red R ib b le


Valley customers who rented Toshiba sets from the King Street shop owned by Blackburn- based firm Wade TV were told that the firm was no longer entitled to collect hire charges following a High Court order.


It was claimed that


Wade TV had fallen behind in its payments for the Toshiba sets.


Shortly after the letters


went out, Wade TV, with branches in Blackburn, Burnley and Clitheroe and outside East Lancashire, called in the Receiver.


Now all the sides have


got together in the dis­ pute and produced a statement which reads as follows:


“The Receiver of Wade


TV L td , Mr F ran k Taylor, and Toshiba (UK) Ltd have reached agree­ ment as to the Toshiba TV sets supplied to Wade TV Ltd by Toshiba, prior to the Receivership.


“The Receiver has ack­


nowledged Toshiba’s own­ ership of all Toshiba’s TV sets in the possession of Wade TV customers, who have received a letter of offer from Toshiba.


“ All such customers


may now deal with Toshi­ ba direct, without fear of a claim against them by the Receiver or any other person, on behalf of Wade TV.


“All other customers


should continue to deal freely with Wade TV before.”


The managing director


of Wade TV, Mr Ken Cotton, said this week that the company was trading normally in every aspect.

In a letter to Clitheroe

the vehicle was used for a break-down recovery and otherwise would not have been on the road until the door was fully repaired. The owner of the vehi­

owner of the Shirebum Caravan Park, Edisford, was taken to court by the Ribble Valley Council after trees on his site — protected by an order — had been severely lopped.


Mr Reynard explained


to the Bench that his caravan site manager had gone ahead with the tree­ lopping exercise without his knowledge or permis­ sion.


“ It was not a case


vandalism,” said Mr Rey­ nard. “My manager went too far but he just wanted to lop the trees to thicken them up in order screen the site from Edis­ ford Road.”

dered to pay £20 costs. Chemists’ rota
