Allotment was pride of town


ONE of Ribble Valley’s top allotment holders in his day, Mr Henry (Harry) Brennand, has died, aged 87.


Road, Clitheroe, won the town’s top allotment award no fewer than seven times and was praised by several mayors for his inspiration to all local growers.

Treasured memories


WHAT memories the photo of the special police brought back on seeing it in the “Advertiser and Times.” The fifth man on the left


facing was my father, Robert Bush. In 1937, he would have been 66 years old. He served in the specials for


many years. I don’t know when he joined, but I have a silver medal dated 1914 for service and a gold medal 1915-1919 for service during the Great War, both with the old Clitheroe Borough coat of arms. I also have a certificate which commemorates my father’s signing for the first world war years and a thank you letter dated 1926, signed by Stanley


Baldwin, the then Prime Minister, for services rendered. After the first world war my father served until the end of 1939, when at


68 years he had to resign for age and health reasons. He died in 1946.

Answering howls of protest


jocular when suggesting it would be difficult for dog owners at, say, Pimlico Road to restrain their pets until they reached Hcnthorn Park. If that were intended, then to use his word that would indeed be “poppycock” or, perhaps


that at the present time the whole of that area is used regularly by a num­ ber of dog owners for the sole purpose of exercising their dogs without any concern for indiscriminate fouling. This has brought forth howls of protest from those using the park for


more appropriately, “puppycock!” In selecting Hcnthorn Park for this experiment, it should be mentioned


encourage social responsibility, but I would agree with Mr Jackson that if ail else fails with regard to dog control measures generally, enforcement may be the only answer. This would, of course, require a more positive attitude by central govern­


recreation, particularly the parents of young children who have had to con­ tend with the difficulties and potential dangers resulting from the besmirching of their children by dog excreta. It is to be hoped that dog owners will respond to the council’s initiatives to


ment, backed up by financial resources, as fines alone would not meet the cost of employing the substantial number of dog wardens required in order to mukc enforcement effective throughout the Ribble Valley.
