Youngsters have it all stitched up
Back to school to learn needlework art
YOUNGSTERS with nimble lingers went
sch l lin gly back to Waddington and West
ool last week.
Bradford Primary School was a hive of activity as sewing machines whirred, fingers stitched and cords were plaited during a nee dlework and crafls sum mer school. At the end of the week,
parents and relatives were invited to see some of the i tem s made by th e children.

An impressive display
A HOTEL is only as good as its staff - and the team at the Moorcock is certainly there to please
THE staff of an establishment can influence the
trade the place picks up and keeps. The team who work at the Moorcock Inn are just that — a
team. The owners, Mr Peter Fillary and his wife, Susan, who are celebrating 10 years at the hotel, employ two managers, three chefs and one pastry chef, two reception staff and a vari ety of full and part-time workers, most of whom have been together for five years. They work for each other and, in par
ticular, the Moorcock. Because they all pull together to give the customer a fair deal, the Moor
cock is a success, whether it be in its function, hotel or dining facilities. It is recognised as a quality establishment, with a quality restaurant —
the Moorlander. The restaurant is thriving. I ts eats 50 people and offers fresh and mostly local-bought produce. A system of one booking per table per night means nobody is rushed and the menu is adaptable for parties and people with unusual diets. The restaurant’s menu is also on offer right through the Moorock, but it is advisable to book in advance. There is an olde worlde feel to the main bar, which has three separate and
distinct areas. It has a feature fireplace, with an abundance of brasses and copperware, many of which have been donated by the pub regulars, and a wonderful memorabilia wall, showing a collection of photographs of the building and various owners through past decades. The whole ambience of the bar is comfortable and welcoming. With a

‘Buzzing’ China
Probus subject
AN informative and colourful slide show of
North-East China was shown at Clitheroe and District Probus
Club. The slide show began
with Mr Peter Thomber, who is a member of the club, remarking that the atmosphere of the country was “buzzing” and that it seemed to have changed positively during the past five years. The citizens, particularly the women, seemed more relaxed. Among the collection of
slides shown, the Great Wall was a prominent fea ture. It can be found near Beijing and is some 4,000 miles long. Other slides included some of the Emperor’s Forbidden City, which is found in Beijing itself, and of the hot springs winter resort at Xian. An emperor of the 8th C en tu ry AD was so

enchanted by a concubine there, by the name of Yang Guifei, that he “dal lied” so long he was nearly deposed. The young ladies today wash their hair in the o|>en air at the resort in the same style of lotus basins used by Yang more than 1,000 years ago. Other historical sites
shown were the 6,000 life- sized terracotta warriors (also at Xian), which were created to guard the tomb of the first emperor of China in the 3rd Century BC. These warriors can also

Castle facelift plans roll in
Now Lottery bid is prepared
ARCHITECTS are already p r e p a r i n g schemes to
reflect ideas submitted for the Clitheroe Castle project
Lottery bid. The response by the community to
the project has delighted the council, which is submitting a Lottery bid under the Urban Parks Programme. Coun. Howel Jones, chairman of the Rainbow Group leading the project, said: “1 am really pleased with the comments. Most have been very sup portive of the scheme, with the excep tion of the idea to re-instate the roof and floor in the Castle Keep. Ideas have ranged from a children's paddling pool, a park and ride scheme, adven ture playground and conference facilities.” All the ideas have been passed on to each of the three architects who were
three selected include Clitheroe’s Sun derland, Peacock and Associates, a practice with vast experience of dealing with historic buildings and whose clien tele includes English Heritage. Campbell Driver and Associates, of
Blackburn, and Gillespies, Altrincham, are also submitting schemes. All three are experienced in land
scape architecture and design. The winning design will be selected
by the Rainbow Reference Group and will be presented to the community at
the end of the month for final com ments before the scheme is forwarded to the Heritage Lottery Fund at the end of September. The council is concerned that the
opinions of the public are taken into account when the architects prepare schemes for the site and all responses have been passed to them. If you have not already responded,

was found among the effects of the late Mrs Helen Crompton, of Park Avenue, Clitheroe. Mrs Crompton had a life-long associa tion with Scouting. She joined the Brownies when she was eight, was a District Commis sioner for the Guides before the Second World War, joined her husband with his work with
Assistant District Commissioner for Cubs in 1975. Mrs Crompton’s connections
with Scouting were even deeper than her own long history, for her father, Mr Sam Walmslcy, was one of the pioneers of the movement in Clitheroe. The first recorded troop was in 1909 and the Clitheroe Boy Scouts’ Asso ciation was founded in 1914, with
Mr Walmsley as secretary. So our mystery young men
could be standing on a Clitheroe street comer 87 years ago, the eldest of them sadly of an age to volunteer in the first great wave of patriots to join Kitchener’s Army, destined for the Battle of the Somme. Let us hope all of our group escaped that fate and some reader will remember one of them and can tell us about him.
