Mrs Walder is hoping to set up fund-raising com- ittccs all over the country. As the latest figures show a steep increase in the


number of deaths front heart disease, the fund has announced a major initiative to try and boost finan­ cial support for the vital research work needed to fight the problem. The fund already supports surgeons, doctors and

Trouble at the garage OH dear, oh dear! I ’m


in trouble again. Two or three weeks ago


I wrote about early garage proprietors in the village and thought I had covered the lot. I hadn't. Clearly, a little know­


ledge is a dangerous thing. Early this morning, when my mouth was still full of toast, the phone


rang. My caller identified


himself and then, "What­ ever did Louie Crook ever do to offend thee?" he de­ manded. I was surprised. "Nothing.” I assured him. "Nothing. Why do you


tusk?" "Nay," he said. "You

now. humbly and contrite­ ly, I apologise to the late gentleman and all his de­ scendants for my over­ sight and omission. “Now," continued my


caller, "Do you remember Teddy Tomlinson in Bil- lington?" Again 1 had to confess my ignorance. "He was one of the first round here to have a motor c a r .” said my caller. “He was a cripple


Whalley Window


and walked with two sticks. He had a car in 1918. A three-wheeler, it was, a Buckingham. Shaped like a shamrock with two seats in front and one behind." Well, I didn't remember


Teddy, but as I didn’t come to tlie village until 1930, in this instance perhaps I can be excused. Another interesting


flashback to the same ar­ ticle came on Thursday morning as we queued to collect our pensions. "You were writing


about William Cunning­ ham and the first garage in the village," said the gentleman in front of me. "He was my uncle," and my friend then went on to’ tell me a little more about this enterprising and obviously clever en­ gineer.


His first business was


in Cast le S t re e t , Clitheroe, where the Co­ op premises now are, and he called his cars "The Midland."


Apparently this honest


and brilliant engineer was not the most astute of businessmen and others, perhaps a l it t le less scrupulous, were said to have reaped the fruits of William's ideas and inven­ tions.


Finally, there was re­


called to me yet another aspect of the developing motor industry of the 1920s.


“There was Billy Heb-


den’s lad," I was told. “Lived in The Square. He used to stand on the pave­ ment outside Vale House with a -10 gallon drum of petrol. He had a hand- pump fitted and used to do quite a trade at weekends."


So there you are.


Thanks to these kindly readers, our knowledge of early garages and motor­ ing is a little more com­ plete.


Now I must leave you


Our own little car stands outside, grimy and mud bespattered, and our friends the birds have tre­ ated it a little unkindly, it is crying out for a sponge and a few gallons of water, and a little elbow grease! Anv volunteers?
