EXPANSION of Ultraframe’s Clitlieroe site has led to the opening o f a new pre -assembled roofing department.'


The site, which was purchased from Econ, a firm


which specialised In the manufacture of large vehi­ cles including snow ploughs until its closure, now comprises 100,000 sq. ft. and 5.5 acres of land.


Ultraframe said it was encouraging that it had been able to add buildings to the existing site as a


i exult of the on-going developments of its patented products. Its progressive roofing systems and conservatories


supplied throughout the UK and E ire have now become a market leader in this area. Our picture shows the opening, which was per­


formed by Rihble Valley Mayor and Mayoress Coun. and Mrs John Travis, with Ultraframe’s managing director Mr John Lancaster (left), Ribble Valley’s director of development Mr Philip Bailey (second right) and Ultraframe sales director Mr Tony Duda.

stopped Drinkall on a lane that runs between Edis- ford Road and Bashali Eaves Road, Clitheroe, after seeing him approach Bashall Eaves Road, then turn off his lights and reverse into the lane. They followed the car, saw Drinkall running away


and chased him, magistrates heard. When caught, Drinkall said he had been drinking. Mr Travers added that tests snowed Drinkall had


more than the prescribed limit of alcohol in his breath for driving. The court hoard that the case rested on whether


magistrates considered the lane in question to be a road to which the public had access. Mr Travers added that, should they decide the road was private, they could still convict Drinkall


of attempting to drive on a public highway, based on evidence that he had been approaching Bashall Eaves Road.


Mr Kevin Donnelly, for Drinkall, said the lane was


on private land and formed part of a farmyard belong­ ing to Mr Alan Knowles, a witness for the defence. Mr Knowles said the road was only open to himself,


members of his family, employees, visitors, friends and caravan owners who booked space in advance. Drinkall was among those allowed to use the road, Mr Knowles said.


Mr Donnelly told the court that other people would


be considered trespassers. *‘IL cannot he said the public in general walk or


drive along this road. The only people who use this road are of a specified class. This is private land,” he added.


____ There was no evidence that Drinkall had planned to


drive anywhere but on the lane. “I t ’s not possible to infer from these facts that he would have continued on to Bashall Eaves Road,” he said. After visiting the lane in question, magistrates


decided that it was not a public road and substi­ tuted an offence of attempting to drive with an excess alcohol level for the original charge.

Reservoir is subject of research


T H E c o n s t r u c t io n o f Stocks Reservoir, a major civil engineering project of the 1920s, was described by Mr Kenneth Geddes in an illustrated talk to mem­ bers of Clitheroe Probus Club. .T h e r e s e rv o ir , which


su p p l ie s w a te r to th e Fylde coastal towns, was opened in 1932 and the


scale of the enterprise was clearly demonstrated by many fine photographs, maps and slides. A fa s c in a t in g in s ig h t


was provided into th e lo g i s t ic s and w o rk in g methods employed, par­ ticularly in relation to the extensive railway system needed to provide trans­ port for men and materials


to what was, at the time, a remote ami ina cce s s ib le area. Mr G e d d e s , w h o s e


research had been done in considerable detail, was thanked by Mr Sidney Cookson. Conservation in the Rib- ble Valley will be the sub­


je c t of a talk by Mr David Hewitt next Friday.
