A STATEMENT written by a former Kibble Valley

Mrs Co wperth waite

the type associated with exposure to asbestos. He also explained that


Dr Prescott added: “ I


would say that, in my opinion, it is an industrial


related disease.” Mrs Cowperthwaite’s


statement revealed that she had lived in Sabden and worked in the village’s surrounding mills before the war. Her maiden name was Sheffield and her first husband was Mr Albert Duggan.


The jury heard that she

had worked in a gas mask factory in Blackburn, where asbestos was used in the production process.


In her statement, Mrs Cowperthwaite said she

as a result of her condi­ tion, she found it very dif­ ficult to walk and had {< pains in her chest. The jury returned a ver-


diet of death as a result of s& f# industrial disease.

stranded three fields away from W e s t B rad fo rd Bridge, in Pimlico Road. Officers decided to call for the assistance of the Fire Brigade. Two pumps from Clith­

Awning is ripped o f f


by lorry A DELIVERY lorry call- ing at a Clitheroe town- centre store ripped off the awning of another shop as


the driver was trying to park. The awning on Cow­


man’s Butchers, in Castle Street, was torn from its mechanical fastenings and pulled to the ground in the accident, which occurred on Thursday at 9-25 a.m. No one was injured in


the accident, but it is esti­ mated that a replacement awning will cost ov er £1,000. When the lorry driver,


who was making a deli­ very to Iceland, in Castle Street, attempted to park in the bay outside the butchers, his wing mirror caught the awning and ripped it off. The lorry’s nearside window was also smashed.

Their report describes


lessons as well-planned, with teaching and learning


enhanced by a family atmosphere in mixed age classes. The school is said to pro­


mote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physi­ cal development of pupils, through a broad, balanced, rich and lively curriculum, witbjessons supported by a variety of extra-curricu­ lar activities, such as sport, chess, music and French. Equality of opportunity


is consistently promoted and pupils are encouraged to develop their own ini-


t iat ive and a sense o f responsibility, while their spiritual development is enhanced through daily acts of worship. The school is described


as a caring community, with polite and well-be­ haved children, who bene­ fit from a beautiful set­ ting, with good-quality surfaced and grass areas. In 1955, it was reported in this newspaper that the


school’s playground, far from being beautiful, was nothing more than a rough road. A meeting o f the then Bowland District Education Sub-Committee heard that children at the school were wearing out their shoes in the most


appalling way by having play on the improvise p la y g r o u n d ’ s r o u j surface. A t the same time, t;


school was deemed gross overcrowded, althouj


ironically it was la t threatened with closu due to declining numbers A fierce battle by ps

A FEW calls came wing­

Wednesday afternoon, but W h a l le y CE P r im a ry School’s sports day was a great success and there were more children wing­ ing their way down the race track than there were


early morning calls. Team relays, obstacle


races, skipping and the unusual lemon and spoon race kept a full house of parents entertained all afternoon. More than 200 children


took part in the event, which the school empha­ sises as one to enter and en joy. Competition is tough, but competition takes a secondary role to taking part and enjoying


the occasion. A group o f entrants
