sultant Mr Adrian Nowell, of Church Street, would like to see the site turned into craft workshops, restoring bygone skills and .jobs to the town — and creating an

for the preservation of the auction ring as a back­ cloth for drama produc­ tions and other space allo­ cated for mobile art and commercial exhibitions.

London reviews


A HIGHLY successful musical by pupils from St Augustine's RC School. Millington. entitled “African Jigsaw,” received nice reviews at its London performance and is to be given its northern premiere on Sunday.


The musical, commis­


sioned by the World Wild­ life Fund, was written by head of music Mr I’eler Rose and Colne teacher Anne Conlon. Mr Rose commented:


".lust under 2.1)110 people heard the children sing and gave them a standing ovation. Tile youngsters were brilliant and we are very proud of them." In the audience was

ecutive Mr Michael Jack- son said Mr Nowell's sug­ gestions were "very inter­ esting" and worthy of con­ sideration as soon as the council is in a position to discuss the future of the site. Mr Jackson felt that


other residents might also have suggestions and there was a strong possi­ bility that the council wind'd invite comments from the public before a decision was taken. Mr Nowell explains:


"Having returned this summer from a holiday visiting some excellent smaller tourist centres in England and Wales, it became apparent to me that there is at least one difference between them ami Clitheroe. "in manv towns the


harsh reality of town centre commercialism is often softened by the in­ triguing sight of workers in wood, leather, clay wool, glass, iron and silver, all busy at their crafts." He points out that


workshops under one roof make it easier for visitor and also provide mutual support for craftsmen during the traumas of es­ tablishing both business


and reputation. They also bring action


and originality, restoring skills and jobs that were practised nearby hun­ dreds of years ago. Mr Nowell adds: "Might


not the auction mart site, with little alteration, pro­ vide an umbrella for such


activities in Clitheroe'.’ "Is Clitheroe also big


enough, in every sense of the word, to sustain a live arts ami exhibition centre based at the same loca­ tion. 1 wonder "Other towns of a politi­
