Robin, who lives with his family on Clith- eroe’s Kirkmoor Road, much time for musing about anything. Since the move to the new market, which cost nearly £lm. to build and has an annual turn over approaching £8m., things have become much more hectic.
New ventures, includ-

THE newly-appointed general manager of the Hark to Bounty Inn at Slaidburn, Henry Lynch (27), is very much at home in th e c a t e r i n g trade. . . for he has lived with it since the age of two. Henry has worked for
four years for Matthew Brown Manor Houses, who recently bought the
at rather less than the £325,000 asking price. It is the fourth hotel he has managed. “The area is absolutely

auctioneer Mr Robin Addyman. “ I was sick of the place,” said 49-year-old 'Robin,
this week. “ I was sick of shoppers grumbling about conditions on market day and fed up about the lack of car parking, which made life unbearable for farmers and shoppers alike.” But looking back at the site from his spacious
new empire at the Ribblesdaie Agricultural Centre does not make Robin feel much better. “What have they done with the place? Why keep
that huge area fenced off when people are driving round struggling to find somewhere to park? The whole thing’s at a standstill,” he said.
sell ’owt. . . I just love the auction.”
Robin’s one regret is
that his farming father Harry did not live to see what he has attained, after steering his ambi tious son into auction-. eering as a fresh-faced youth straight from school. Robin arrived in Clitheroe, complete with the auctioneer’s uniform o f light-co loured jacket, trousers and dealer’s boots . . but it was to be three
years before the young yardman was allowed to use them. He had to watch his
appetite too. . “My first wage was £1
a week, plus my food,” he said.
But when the canny
auction mart staff rea lised that burly Robin was eating £1.50 worth o f food, they quickly “upped” his wage to £2, out of which he had to feed himself!
Over the years, the
three full-time auction eers at Clitheroe went and by 1974 Robin was s e n i o r a u c t i o n eer . . . and as well- known to farmers in the Ribble Valley as the milk yield from their

Ancestry quest for Dawn
DOES anyone know anything about the Jenkinson family who once lived in Clitheroe? I f they do, Dawn Murphy, in Canada, would like to
know, as she is trying to trace her ancestors. Dawn wrote to the “Clitheroe Advertiser and
£13 .80 ..£1 .70 £6 .90 C2 .85
Times” to ask for readers’ help in tracing her father’s family. William Jenkinson was born on March 19th, 1906, in Rochdale. His mother was Lucy Eva Jenkin son, nee Stott, who lived at Lower Sherriff Street, Rochdale; and died between March 1906 and June 1908. William was sent to guardians in Clitheroe in
1908 — but who they were and where they lived Dawn does not know. ■ She is also trying to get a picture of the Clitheroe Union workhouse of about 1906 and would welcome
• any information which may help her find one. Anyone interested in helping Dawn should write
to: Dawn Jenkinson Murphy, 903 Birch Avenue, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada K9H6G7.

without its laughs. Robin well remembers chasing an enraged newly-calved heifer from the old site, when it escaped and ram paged through the town, ending at Turn ers’ Shop in Market Street.
“ It looked in the win
dows, saw a reflection o f four more heifers and promptly went mad,” he smiled. “ It smashed its way in, breaking all the win-
v'v..
dows, and ladies came hopping out with one shoe on and one shoe off — it was pandemo nium. Cattle in a con fined space seem to have one thing on their mind and it sprayed the shop with muck. I ’ve never seen an assistant so furious.”
But it was all sorted
out, thanks maybe to Robin’s guardian angel, who has put in some overtime during recent years. Twice Robin came within inches of losing his famous voice, when one cancerous tumour after another
was found on his tongue. But thanks to the
work of Blackburn sur geon Mr J. C. Lowry, the voice that rings out over sheep and cattle sales every week was saved, when pieces of Robin’s tongue were cut out and replaced by pieces taken from his shoulders. “ I can now talk
straight from the shoul der,” joked Robin, “ and the way things are going — getting busier every week — it looks as though I ’ll be doing that for some years to come.”
11-plus fa i lu r e n ow has top p o l ic e jo b
FROM 11-plus failure to law graduate and a top job in the police force is the record of Clitheroe-born Alan Bridge, a former head bov of Ribblesdaie School.
Alan, who joined the
force as a beat bobby at the age of 20, has been appointed Chief Inspector and Traffic Group Com mander for Merseyside’s Maghull Division. He is the son of Clith
eroe electrical contractor Mr Frank Bridge and his wife, Mary, who live in Fairfield Drive. Alan (38) was head boy
of Ribblesdaie in 1966 and after leaving school served an apprenticeship with his
father, who until recently had the Lighting Centre shop in Moor Lane.
He gained the ONC in
electrical engineering, before deciding to join the
police force in Southport in 1970. Alan was promoted to
sergeant in 1976 and in 1982 gained an LL.B. degree at Liverpool Uni versity, while still a mem ber of the Force. A year later he was promoted to inspector.
He lives in Formby with
his wife, Jane, a cashier with the Royal Bank of Scotland, and their two young daughters,. and takes up his new appoint ment on October 16th. His division includes
Southport and Formby, where he has served throughout his police career.
