Let’s put cloth cap myth to rest


SOUTHERNERS tire being urged to ignore false information that brands the. Ribble Val­ ley as “ Coronation Street” territory, with f e w


t o u r i s t


attractions. The plea from a local


restaurateur follows yet another visit to the Ribble


Valley by a national new- super gourmet, whose


comments have, again angered local readers. Last week the “Ciith­


eroe A d v e r t is e r and Times” ^potlightcd an arti­


cle by John Whitley, res­ taurant critic of “ The Daily. Telegraph,!’ who made a sweeping claim that tlie area was riddled with the “meat-and-two- veg virus.” Then, after a visit to the award-winning Northcotc Manor at Langho,- he wrote that tlie restau­ rant’s only possible tourist asset was the proximity of the i\I(i. “ Its customer-base is


closer to John Brame than Hardy — gritty Pennine tycoons wheeling and deal­ ing in worsted and dream­


ing ol romantic dinners in May lair . . . ” lie said, adding that the “ formal heavily-chandeliered din­ ing room” conies straight off the set of “Room at the


Top.’.’


• iNorthcoto’s managing d i r e c t o r Mr N ig e l Haworth tells us-his cus­ tomers found the com-, incuts unbelievable.


“ He obviously doesn’t


know much about the Rib­ ble Valley and its beautiful countryside and villages,” said Mr Haworth.


“ It’s time tins cloth cap


and ’Coronation Street' myth spread by south­ erners. is put to rest once and for all. My customers tell me they are most cer­ tainly not dreaming of din­ ing out in Mayfair!”


Mr Haworth, whose res­


taurant has been listed by Egon Ronay, “The Good Food Guide,” and “Miclie- bn Guide,” said that lie


- would m future be linking up with the-Ribble Valley Council’s tourism officer, Mr Keith Taylor, in a bid to market the area and its


attractions to southerners. Mr Whitley told the


“Advertiser and Times” that lie was himself a northerner and was stand­ ing by what lie had said about the Ribble Valley. “ I don’t think it is all that attractive,” he added. • Meanwhile, Mr Taylor said that the recently-


. formed Ribble Valley Tourism Association would be staging a “ fami­ liarisation day” for jour­ nalists.from various parts of tlie country who would like-to see the area for


themselves.

balance the books. •The advent of home videos and multi-complex cinemas lias led to dimin­ ishing audiences. As a result, the cinema, which has a special place in the hearts of hundreds of Rib- blo Valley residents and in recent years has also become a tourist attrac­ tion, is less viable as a commercial proposition. Tlie cinema was under


discussion this week, in private, at Ribble Valley Council’s Recreation and Leisure Committee on Tuesday night. The item was referred to on the agenda paper as “Manage­ ment of Ciitheroe Civic


by Vivien Meath


Hall — report of chief commercial s e rv ic e s officer enclosed.” Yesterday, Ribble Val­


ley Council’s tourism and press officer Mr Keith Taylor confirmed that-the Civic Hall Cinema had


been on the agenda, .but stressed that the item under discussion referred to the contract of a mem­ ber of staff, projectionist Mr Derek Pearson, who has worked there for almost ‘10 years and is past retirement age. I t was decided on Tuesday night to extend his contract until March.


, At this stage, added Mr


Taylor, the council had no intention of losing tlie use of the Civic Hall — for­ merly the Grand Kinema, with a history going back more than 70 years. Throughout that time, it


lias been linked with tlie Cullen family. Mr Ignatius Cullen bought it in 1920 and initially ran it with his wife, Rose. On the deatli of their father in 19<l(i, Miss Marie Cullen and her sister, Miss Barbara Cul­


len, took the reins. Miss Barbara Cullen


still works there and, only this week, tlie cinema was featured in the contenders for the “Loo of the Year” award. Miss Cullen’s brass collection' is featured throughout the building and, over the years, she and her late sister ran the cinema as though it was their own home, devoting much time and energy in their enthusiasm to keep it as a place for family entertainment.


The local authority took


oyer the premises in 19(13 aiid the cinema has fre­ quently been at the centre of heated discussion over expenditure.


In 1972, the town coun­


cil’s Entertainments Com­ mittee decided to seek professional advice on con­ verting tlie Civic Hall to a multi-purpose unit, capa­ ble of holding other events as well as films or drama.


Ironically, 20 years


later, it now seems certain that other ways of using the Civic Hail will again be

Black ice danger for local


drivers PATCHES of black ice sent drivers in the Ribble Valley slipping, sliding and’ skidding into ditches, lamp- posts and other vehi­ cle s on T u e sd a y morning.


Ciitheroe police said


there were three accidents between (5 and S a.m. at Devil’s Elbow, near Read, and on Ciitheroe Road, near Barrow, where one car careered into a ditch a n d a n o t h e r i n t o a lamp-post.


In two of the incidents,


the vehicle involved had to be towed and the driver treated for slight injuries.


Another car was spotted


m a ditch on the Sabden Road near the A59 and two vehicles were seen skidding together in Ciith­ eroe shortly after 9 a.m. on King Street, outside the police station.


Chief Insp. Michael


under the microscope. One of those involved in


discussion over the cin­ ema’s future at that time was Conn. Bert Jones. A supporter of its retention over the years, Conn. Jones, who is not a mem­ ber of the Ribble Valley Council's Recreation and Leisure Committee, said yesterday that to do away with the cinema would, he believed, bo a retrograde step.


He added: “ It offers


something to the people ol Ciitheroe that they can’t get without travelling some distance. While a number of people do have access to transport, an awful lot don’t.


“ It does meet a need


and we have been very fortunate, in my opinion, that the type of pro­ grammes wo have had have been general films of appeal to most people. It provides a need and I hope we do everything we can to retain it. It is a feature of the town. I would imag­ ine that there are very few cinemas like this in ■ England.”


Bourne laid much of the blame for the accidents on tlie drivers involved.


“Some accidents can’t be


helped. But people travel too fast and too close together. They rush out in the morning,” he said. ‘ People need to drive slowly, gently accelerate, gently brake and keep their distance.”


A traffic sergeant at


Colne police station said tlie icy conditions resulted from temperatures drop­ ping quickly early on Tuesday morning.


“The roads have been


icy all over the county,” he'- said. “ It was black ice. But people just need to drive accordingly.”


THE Kibble Valley is gearing up for another


whacky weekend in aid of Children in Need. Tomorrow night will see the culmination of a


week of activities which, once again, has seen townsfolk pull out tlie stops for Britain’s favourite charity blockbuster. From I’udscy Bear and Gypsy Rose Lee to Alad­


din and his genic, the imagination and creativity of Clitheronians is showing no hounds. The three Whallcy Adult Education Centre staff


pictured above are Mrs Jackie Gallimore (front), Mrs Sandra Brewer (back right) and Mrs Maureen


Smith, who have been selling coffee and biscuits and running a “ good as new” stall at the centre — and smashed their £100 weekly target by Monday evening!


'•Ciitheroe Ladies’ Cir­


cle raised £325 with their l ife s izc I’ udse.v Bear


painting (see page 3) and Kibble Valley Rotaract members intend to liven the spirits of the town in more ways than one tomorrow night, when they collect in the area’s p u h s — ( ire s s e d a s clowns.


Elsewhere in the town,


Aladdin and his genic have promised to make a special appearance, offering free “wishes” lo those who cross their charity buckets with silver!


. On a more serious note, pool players at Clitheroe’s Royal Oak pub are attempting to smash the world record in potting hulls by hold­ in g a 2-1-liour p o o l marathon.


The marathon, called a


“ poolatlion,” will be offi­ cially monitored by com­ puter. The 10 players taking part have already received sponsorship to the tune of £1,000.
