Enjoyed knitting


A WOMAN who had lived with her daughter in Chat- bum for the past two-and- a-half years, Mrs Mar­ garet Olive Whitehead, has died at the East Lan­ cashire Hospice. Mrs Whitehead (57) was


originally from Nelson, but since her husband Ronald died, she had been living with her daughter, Mrs Sheila Thompson, in Darkwood Crescent. Born in Cheshire, Mrs


Whitehead moved to Nel­ son on her marriage 30 years ago. Her long illness meant several visits to the h o sp ic e, where she enjoyed craft classes, and her main hobby of knitting was a boon, for she dressed dolls and made items for the hospice Christmas fair. Mrs Whitehead enjoyed


a good sing-song and was never happier than when entertaining her family and six grandchildren. In addition to her


daughter, she is survived by two sons, Kenneth, of Bacup, and Robert, who lives in Cornwall. Cremation will take place at Accrington today.


O il PUDDING AND CHIPS Surprising though it may seem, not all the things produced using water


as an ingredient can be found in the pages of., a cookery book. ■ From the best black pudding Bury has to offer to the latest in computer hardware, a regular supply of water is required to keep the puddings moist.and make


the microchips. On average, around 30% of the 540 million gallons put into supply by North West Water every working day is used in businesses great and small, all round the region.

Exploring in Lakes


THE wonderful weekend weather encouraged 14


members of Clitheroe Naturalists’ Society to explore the Lake District. Arriving at Waterhead


Youth Hostel, their tem­ porary base for three days, they lunched on the shore of Lake Windermere and journeyed to Gras­


mere. Passing Dove Cot­ tage, they climbed to Glen Cragg and Alcock Tarn, frequently stopping to admire the panoramic views. On Saturday, they trav­


elled by mini-bus to Hawkshead and after a walk over Latterbarrow to the tarns, returned via Far Sawrey and the ferry by steamer to Waterhead. The third day, the party

circled Rydal Water to White Moss Common, Nab
