nium is the task Sarah Robin son has set herself and-she is hoping that community spirit will help to guide her. Sarah, of Richmond Terrace, Clitheroe, is currently scouring the archives for facts and photographs of Clitheroe from 1900 onwards. Her aim is to discover the impact that events such as the First and Second World Wars, the dawn of the swinging ’60s, and the rise and fall of various national and inter national political leaders have had on aspects of town life.
