Exhibition traces history of big outdoor event


A golden milestone for show


Agricultural and Hor- tic ultural show’s golden anniversary was immortalised in a recent exhibition cele­ brating its 50-year history.


THE Hodder Valley


Church, it traced the show’s history using photographs and old copies of the “Clitheroe Adver­


Held in S la id b u rn


tiser and Times.” Every­ thing was covered, from Slaidburn band to the Young Fanners’ societies, as well as the people and their animals inhabiting the valley over the years.

It was organised by Mrs


pile, using information from in te rv iew s and searching through library records. Mrs B rad ley f i r s t


became interested in the show as a child living on the family farm in the val­ ley. She believes the exhi­ bition showed that the changing face of the show reflects what has hap­ pened to the local fanning community. She explained: “In the


first year, more than 100 cattle appeared in the show, but in the Septem­ ber show this year it was down to only 20 — there are no longer the farm­ hands to prepare animals for the show.” Visitors to the exhibi­


tion consisted of farming families from the valley who were eager to see


themselves and the gen­ erations before them recorded in the valley’s history. The well attended exhi­


bition attracted members of the older fanning com­ munity who could remem­ ber the first show and Mrs Bradley felt this repre­ sented the last link with the old times. She said: “It was a revelation to people that they had made a kind of history.” Farming in the Hodder Valley is now changing at


a rapid pace, with farms and their land being sold off to larger farms and home buyers, so it is unlikely that an exhibition of this kind would be pos­ sible again. Mrs Bradley’s next


project is tracing the his­ tory of the individual farms in the Hodder Val­ ley, which she hopes to complete next year. Mrs Bradley is pictured


with Mr Howarth (centre) explaining the display to a visitor.
