Bridge as some prefer to call it, is part of Clith- eroe’s heritages along with the Packhorse Bridge at Swanside, near Downham. Both are ancient bridges. Swanside Bridge was


well used by the public, even to this day, as I dis­ covered when I visited it last spring. There are three footpaths leading to it. It is also listed on the ordnance survey map as a footbridge. It is still used as a footbridge, allowing the public to pass over it. Why not the F airy

TILL I GROW UP


I need a family to look after me till I grow up and who is prepared to adopt me, when, the time is right. It would be nice if I could have a room of my own with somewhere to display my football posters and scarves. You see I like football and support Liverpool. I would not get a gold star for the tidiest room but I am improving in alt my sub ects at school and am above average in reading. Sometimes I need to be on my own to think things out. A lot has happened to me during my 11 years. I know I can -not live with my family anymore but I will need to have some contact with my dad from time to time. You may ■ find me rather a quiet boy who will take some time to feel I belong but I am not sulky or miserable and I do have a sense of humour. I would like to be taken out sometimes at weekends and holidays. Perhaps we could play cricket together with friends.
