A SLICK of Clithcrou his tory is being rediscovered — thunks tn a passing remark on a museum tape. The remark was in an
Imperial War Museum tape heard by Mr Andrew Schofield, an archivist at the North West Sound Archive at Clitheroe Cas
tle. 'file tape was of a Tod-
morden mail’s life in lain- Days of Clitheroe cycle car
easliire, during which lie referred tn taking part in a 2-1-hniir London-Exetor- I.iindni) driving tr ial in 1914 “ in a burrowed cycle ear made in Clitheroe.” Mr Schofield was curi
ous about the business and appealed for information through the “ Advertiser
and Times.” Now the pub lic response tn our two stories has helped to add layer after layer to his cmiuirics. Mrs Elizabeth Stalker,
of Clitheroe Road, Whal- ley, told him that her father, Mr Louis Crook, was in partnership with
Mr David Cunningham, making cycle ears in Clith eroe, with a showroom somewhere in Castle
Street. She provided the pic
tures reproduced here, which show one type of cycle ear (left) made by tile Whalley and Clitheroc
Motor Co before and after the end of the Great War, as well as the Whalley garage Mr Crook founded after the cycle car busi ness went bankrupt ill 1922. Local historian Mr Cyril
Ainsworth produced a motoring article which referred to the "L it t le Midland” cycle cars made]
at Clitheroc. A p p a re n t ly , a two-
seater v o itu re t te was made for a couple of years from 1905with a 7.a lip single cylinder De Dion Bouton engine at the Mid land Works, Clitheroe.

Campaign passes target
THANKS tu a helping baud from the Kibble Vaf the Townswomen's
Guild environmental cam paign lias surpassed all expectations and passed its target of Zldd.Otlb. The scheme, entitled
“ Rooting for the future,” was launched a year ago
with the aim of raising the money over IS months. However, the support and interest shown throughout the country was over whelming and the target was met six months early. The IS individual guilds
throughout I'reston and Fast Lancashire rose to the challenge well, with a hearty contribution com ing from the various Kib ble Valley guilds. The fluids will tie used
to purchase and plant four areas of woodland in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Managed by the Woodland Trust, the Townswomen's Guild woods will provide safe natural habitat for Britain’s wildlife and help protect the environment. With six months of the
scheme to go, each guild w ill continue to raise money until May, when a national event will be
held.
