END OF ERA AS TRADER HANGS UP HIS BOOTS


SHOPKEEPER Mr Bernard Lord has hung up his boots after serving customers in Clitheroe


in charge ol the displays. The couple opened and ran a bed and


for more than 55 years. The Moor Lane shoe shop owner has


retired from the family business and has handed over control to his two daughters. He was still in short pants when he


sold his first pair of shoes at D. Lord and Son more than half a century ago. Mr Lord ((>5), of Peel Park Close,


Clitheroe, said: “I am told I served my first customer when I was eight, but I can’t remember it. However, I can recollect serving customers when I was about 11 or 12.” In fact, Mr Lord has never been far


away from the family business. He was born above the shop started


by his grandfather, Daniel, in 1900, and later run by his father, John. Mr Lord worked at the shop on


breakfast, Fairway House in King Street, for five years after getting married. It is now the Old Post House Hotel. Mr Lord is now looking forward to


working on his garden, holidaying m his caravan and Saturday mornings. • He said: “I have not been used to hav­


ing Saturdays off, as I have worked them all my life. I will now have the chance to watch a cricket or a football match.” Over the years, Mr Lord has sold shoes to 1,000s of people, serving


several generations of families. However, one customer in particular


has stuck in his mind — the former Home S e c re ta ry , Lord David
