BIG plans for “little people” look set to transform one of Whalley’s most promi­ nent buildings into an international tourist attraction and breathe new life


into the village’s fortunes. Whal lcy residents David and Ankie Wild,


owners of the .Museum of Chi ldhood at Kibehester, are now so conf ident th a t thei r dream of br inging the museum to a new home is about to become it real i ty, th a t they are al ready planning a grand opening in July. For the hist nine monlbs, the couple have been


involved in negot iat ions to purchase The Whi te House, a Georgian t i rade 2 listed bui lding in the cent re of the village. The Kibble Valley Borough Council last month


approved plans to conver t The Whi te House into a museum and Mr and Mrs Wild hope to he able to broaden the appeal of the Museum of Chi ldhood at its new home. Mrs Wild explained: "Ou r biggest problem has


been to make people under s tand that the Museum of Chi ldhood is not ju s t for chi ldren — in fact , the older you are, the more you would enjoy the memorabi l ia at the museum.


Museum will add to village life


“Now, we are also aiming to expand o ur appeal to smal l chi ldren and to create bet ter facilities


for families. "We would like to conver t the barn a t the hack


of The Whi te House into a th e a t re which would br ing live ente r ta inment in the form of puppeteers, Punch and Judy shows and chi ldren’s ente r ta ine r s , wi th regular weekend shows for chi ldren in the three to 111 age group." Once final negot iat ions are complete, the


enormous task of moving the museum can begin, hut Mrs Wild is conf ident that it could he open by the summer , especial ly if local businesses invest in the project .


She said: "We need sponsorship in order to do


it quickly and we are hoping th a t local businesses will each sponsor a room in the new museum." Despite some concern about problems caused


by ext ra ear s parking in the area, local residents have been in favour of the plan.


Mr J im McKinst ry, chief execut ive of the Mast


Lancashi re Chambe r of Commerce and himsel f a resident of Wiswell, said: “This is the greatest thing that could happen to Whal lcy and promises to widen the scope of a t t ra c t io n s in the vi l lage."


But what about the impl icat ions for


Kibehester? .Mr McKinst ry rommented: "Kibehes ter lias


always had its own charm and the luss of the Museum of ( ’hi idhood would not take that away."
