THE latest Ribble Valley recruit to the “Operation Raleigh" project is Whal­ ley postgraduate student Miss Helen Taylor, who has been assigned to work in the Bahamas. Helen (23), of Hollins


Farm, Whalley, is sche­ duled to fly out to take her place in the programme either next year or in early 1989 and has set about raising £2,000 to finance what she describes as “ the experience of a lifetime.” Currently studying for a


PhD in Newcastle Univer­ sity’s chemical engineering department, former Ribb- iesdale pupil Helen will work on exten d in g a marine wildlife park and building dams to enable tu r t le s to swim on to beaches to breed. Dry land assignments


include the building of a bridge between Grand Bahama and one of the surrounding islands and construction of drag reha­ bilitation centres. Among the activities


she has planned to raise cash for the action-packed adventure is a sponsored bicycle ride from Chester to Kendal. Helen would also be


interested to hear from any local organisations, such as women’s insti­ tutes, concerning talks. She is approaching local industry for sponsorship. Anyone interested in lend­ ing a helping hand should contact Helen on Whalley 3135.

gation there recently marked his appointment as president in succession to


Trinity Church minister, the Rev. Jim Needham, with a special service. Involved in Rotary for


nine years, Mr Sunderland (45) is married, with three sons, aged 16, 13 and nine, and lives at Stonyhurst. He qualified as an archi­

IT must be almost 30 years ago that I chat­ ted with a local joiner, unhappily no longer with us. He had spent the whole of his work­


ing life, from appren­ ticeship onwards, in th e v i l la g e and its immediate environs an d , as a m a s t e r c ra ftsm a n , he was


most knowledgeable about many o f our


older buildings. “Before they started all


these developments,” he told me, at a time when our bungalow estate and many properties in Neth- ertown were still lines on the drawing board, “ I ’d worked in every house in this village. I know the lot o f ’em.” On former occasions he


had been very helpful with snippets of information and today he told me about what he considered to be the oldest house (excluding parts of the Abbey Conference House) in the village. His views were based on his profes­ sional experience and his knowledge of building t e c h n i q u e s


a n d


procedures. “ Tha’s nobbut- got to


look at them walls,” he said, “ond some of th’in- side walls, too. Aye, ond t’timbers as well ond tha


con tell id worn’t built yesterday.” Naturally, I was all agog to see it and, by


cou rte sy o f the then owner, the opportunity soon came along. But with one strict proviso. “You must promise me


you won’t tell anybody which it is,” said the lady o f the house. “ I g e t enough folks peeping through the window as it is.” 'Naturally, I gave my assurances, but now I ’m a little worried. The house has changed hands a cou- pie of times since those quieter days and now, I understand, application has been made to make various alterations to the


J A new look service


A TOTAL new look has swept through the offices of Clitheroe estate agents Steele and Co. with a change of name to Prudential Property Services. The family firm in Castle Gate, estab­


lished by Mr Fred Steele (sen) in the late 1950s, joined the Prudential in March. Prudential is not only a giant in the insurance world, but now provides a host of other services, ranging from invest­ ments and unit trusts to mortgages and


estate agency. A chain breaking service is one of the


facilities offered. Instead of the prospect of expensive bridging loans when a house-buying chain breaks down, cus­ tomers will be able to sell their property to the Prudential. Pictured in the new-look offices are,


from the left: branch manager Mr Fred Steele (jun), Mrs Christine Dixon and Mrs Carol Mayman.

centuries, many altera­ tions have been' made to the premises, but passing" years have mellowed the picture and now is the time to say “ leave well alone” .


The house, maybe, is perhaps not the brightest


jewel in our local crown (although it comes close to


it) but it is an integral part of the older part of the vil­


lage scene and should be left undisturbed. Every-change, major or


minor, in our Conservation Area could insidiously detract from the picture that we in the village so dearly love.

A M AN for a motor emergency — that’s Clith­ eroe mechanic Ian Gregson, whose skills under a ca r b on n e t h a v e r e c e iv e d n a t ion a l recognition.


Ian (20), of Langshaw


D r iv e , finished jo in t second in the Road Trans­ port Industry Training Board’s Young Mechanic of the Year competition.


The former Ribblesdale


School pupil underwent a gruelling, four-hour prac­ tical test of speed and accuracy in the final at High Ercall, Shropshire.

received engraved gold watches, while the winner won the right to represent the United Kingdom in the International Youth Skill Olympics in Australia next year.


Ian, who works for Wellgate Motors, was


selected from 3,500 apli- cants to reach the later stages of the competition because of his impressive performances in exams at the Accrington and Ros- sendale College. A member of Clitheroe


and District Motor Club, Ian’s hobbies include auto­ testing, in which competi­ tors display their driving skills by driving round strategically-placed obsta­ cles. He also enjoys play­ ing squash and canoeing.


Jean says farewell £*§& W E L L S P R IN G S hotel


landlady Lynn Ball had a fearsome guard dog in mind when she went to the R S P C A k e n n e ls at Accrington.


But when the pregnant,


three-legged mongrel with no name lo ok ed her straight in the eye, she just could not resist taking her back to her Nick o’ Pendle hostelry as a pet.


Now the crossbred collie


nobody wanted is happily making friends at the pub, which was recently taken over by Lynn and her hus­ band, Austin.


Lynn said: “ When I


went to the RSPCA ken­ nels, I was thinking of something big and fear­ some as a guard.


“ It was feeding time,


but this three-legged mon­ grel left her food and came


straight for me. She gave me the kind of look that made me melt.”


Suki, as she has now


been named, had been abandoned and nobody knows where she came from. She was pregnant, but had to have an abor­ tion because her pups were too heavy for her to carry.
