Warning to children


over water danger


THE doors have closed on a family grocery shop for the final time after more than 65 years of


business in Clitheroe. Mr Bernard Jackson, whose distinctive white coat and


friendly manner have become familiar to all his cus­ tomers over the years, has locked up his Railway View Road shop to begin a well-earned retirement. Mr Jackson explained the reason for the closure of


Jackson’s Grocers. “It is just because I am retiring at the age of 65." The shop was started by Mr Jackson’s parents in 1927,


but the premises have actually been a shop since 1892 when it was first built. Since 1960, Mr Jackson has run the family business


and has lived above the premises with his wife, Margaret, for many years. Mr Jackson got a taste of grocery work at an early


age, helping stack shelves, filling in coupons and running deliveries for his parents. He recalled that making deliveries on a bike was no easy task. “It was good for the muscles, but you did get


bruised when falling off.” Over the years, the shop has built a reputation for pro­


viding a personal service—offering doorstep deliveries, a helping hand with customers' bags, special orders for cus­ tomers and, of course, a friendly smile. Not only has the shop been a workplace for Mr Jack-


son, he also met his wife at the shop when she came to work at the business at the age of 16.
