LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Monte Carlo-style casino for town?


I BORN and bred in Blackburn, I was sad­ dened to see its char­ acter changed in the early 60s to what it has now become: a whirlpool of frustrated traffic and a shopping centre indistinguish­ able from any other town of like size any-


| where in Britain. On retirement I have


been fortunate to have settled in Clitheroe, a town I have loved and visited over the last 60 years. The place had char­ acter and its own special atmosphere. The shops were a delight, and their assistants friendly and helpful.


I remember the very


first milk bar opening in the centre in the 30s, and we used to cycle here for


Lovely Clitheroe


11 WAS very pleased to receive a copy of your 800 Souvenir from my cousin Mrs M. Heys, o f Newton


Street, Clitheroe. .........................


| I was the baby of a family of 12, all born in Clith­ eroe, and I will be 74 next month. My brother David was the first Clitheroe boy to be killed in the first


world war. I still love Clitheroe and, as someone who has


travelled the world, I still think it is the loveliest


I place. W. H. PARKINSON,

Mr Moon and Mr Cromp­ ton and all the supporters. A total of £57 was raised


for the Poppy Appeal fund


Helpers needed

Billington man’s


new post


A BILLINGTON man, Mr Alan R o f f , has been appointed an assistant director of Lancashire


Polytechnic in Preston. Thirty-five-year-old Mr


Roff, of Calder Cottage, is a specialist computer adviser who wants to see a c lo s e r r e la t io n sh ip between the Polytechnics and the community. “I want to see the Poly­


technic’ s services and courses as accessible to people in the Ribble Val­ ley as anywhere else in the county,” he said. He will co-ordinate the


Polytechnic’s links to the business world with indus­ trial and educational liai- s o n and h o p e s to strengthen these. London-born, he joined


the Polytechnic in 1983 as head of the computer centre after gaining a first class degree in mathemat­ ics at Oxford. He then gained his master’s degree in quantitative social sci­ ence, the mathematical side of economics, at Kent University.
