A true story of touring the Ribblc Valley is of the Whallcy couple enjoying a wakes weeks holiday in Blackpool in 1948, who decided to take an evening mys­ tery tour.

They bought a couple of bags of fish and chips and went home to put the ket­ tle on before returning to Blackpool. Pre-war attractions in the Valley were as good then as they arc today.

AT its meeting on March 10th 1988, the members of Wilpshire Parish Council noted, with regret, that practically all the com­ plaints concerning the county council’s provision of a new library in Clith­ eroe, coupled with the bor­ ough and town council’s efforts to modernise and refurbish the Mayoral accommodation and com­ mittee facilities without damaging the architec­ tural beauty of a listed building, originate from residents of Clitheroe.
