Dickens of good night at Whalley
DICKENSIAN char acters brought the spirit of Christmas to life on the streets of Whalley (luring a magical night which captivated the imaginations of
young and old. Even four-logged
friends were among the crowds wlio flocked in record numbers to the village for Mr
Pickwick’s Party Night. Flickering lanterns,
the smell of roasting chestnuts and sound of carols and fairground organs combined to cre ate a wonderful festive atmosphere. Shopkeep ers and visitors alike donned Victorian costumes to play their part in the Vuletide scene. Along the pavements
of old people around there and the footpath has been like that for over a week. It is bad enough for me, but 1 know that some of them just haven’t been able to get out at all." On Monday, when he
heard about the problem, Mr Marshall Holers, senior
surveyor at the Kibble Valley ( ’ounoil. inspected
the area for himself. Afterwards he said:
"Wo are carrying out improvement work to old people’s bungalows in that area, which are due for completion at tin* end of March. *‘ I have found a high
, i
level of contamination to tin* footpaths and roads, which lias been made
worse by the weather. The contractor has been told to
keep tin* mads dear while tin* work is ongoing and is dm* to get a road sweeper down to sort out t ho problem."

A Clitheroe 1‘oliee spokesman said they were investigating the theft, which took place between 11-30 p.m. on Friday and noon on Saturday.
there was something for everyone. Families trailed through shops, cosy and warm against the hnekdrop of the dark winter night, and children paid their respects to Fattier Christmas in his special grotto. Buoyed along on a
wave of Christmas music, shoppers gave their loose change to charitable collections and stopped for a bite to eat or drink at stalls offering everything from mince pies and
jacket potatoes to hot poach. Mirroring the happy
expressions on the faces of visitors, who rnme from as far as St Amies, were organisers Whalley and District Lions and Whalley Chamber of Trade, who declared the Party Night a tremendous success. "We were very
pleased with it. We thought it was better than ever this year," said chamber chairman Joyce Holgate. “ There seemed to be
more people. We had given it a lot of publicity and maybe
that paid off. We have had very good feedback from everybody. They
were very impressed. I’d just like to thank everyone for taking part." Mrs Holgate was also
highly impressed with the entries in the best dressed window competition, which was won by Time (Joes Itv. The victor in the best period dress section was Poppies of Whalley. while the Delncy Arms clinched the shield for the best effort. Right: Secondhand
