ROARING flames and a huge pall of smoke leapt up from a fierce Sunday a f te rn o o n blaze which g u tted most of a smart Ribble Valley guest house. I t


. was the most testing domestic in c id en t


faced by local f ire­ fighters for years. Teams wearing breathing


apparatus b a tt led their way through flames, smoke and blistering heat at East- ham House Farm, Great Mitton, to make sure no one was trapped. And there was nightmare-come-true


trauma for owners Mr and Mrs Stanley Ainsworth when they arrived back from a weekend in the Lake District to see their home ruined. Many personal and irreplaceable possessions


were lost and repairs will cost scores of thousands of


pounds. M r s Ainsworth was severe­


ly shocked when she saw


the full enormity of what had happened and was treated by paramedics. This “week, the couple thanked fire-fighters and others who helped for their efforts and echoed every­ one’s thoughts — “Thank goodness no one was hurtl” Mr and Mrs Ainsworth are well known over a wide area of North East Lan­ cashire and there have been many expressions of con- cem for them this week. Mr Ainsworth has redeveloped the Hodder Bridge Hotel, Chaigley, over recent years and at one time planned a golf course next to East- ham House Farm. His wife has run the five-bedroomed property as a guest house. I t is believed that on Sun­


utes later, the fire-fighters were in action to save whatever they could. “We could see clouds of


virtually gutted, but we saved some furniture from


one.” Portable pumps were car­


dark smoke, from Edisford Road — when we got there, most of the interior of the house was alight and the roof had gone,” says Clitheroe station comman­ der Station Officer Dave McGrath. “The fire was spreading


ried to nearby slurry pits and water from there was used to feed three large jets and two hose reels after the appliance tanks ran dry. Station Officer McGrath


very fast, but we tackled it with water from our machines. Two ambu­ lances came just in case of casualties, and we checked every room as quickly as we could. Nearly all were


platform was very useful for giving access to the roof,” explained the station officer. The brigade stayed at the scene for more than six hours and visits were made later to ensure no pockets of fire remained. The Ainsworths and mem­


called for assistance and before long there were seven machines a t the scene, four pumps, an inci­ dent support unit, a £350,000 aerial ladder only recently bought by- the brigade, and a breathing apparatus unit. “The ladder’s versatile


bers of their'family sal­ vaged as many[ possessions


as they safely could this week. Our picture shows the


scene from the main Clitheroe-Longridge Road as fire-fighters tackled the fire. (CAT 13209.)


Plans for empty shop conversion


day a fault in the central heating wiring started a blaze which spread upwards into the roof, along the tim- hers and then down into the rooms. The house is back from the road and there was no reason for anyone to notice disaster developing until fire was seen breaking through the roof. Fewer than 10 min­


PLANS to convert an empty shop in Swan Courtyard, Clitheroe, into office premises were approved by Ribble Val­ ley Borough Council Planning and Development Committee, despite objections from the town council. Loss of shopping facilities were the


grounds on which Clitheroe Town Council based its objections, but Rihble Valley planning officers recommended approval for a change of use because of Swan Court­


yard’s high vacancy rate. Planning official Mr John Macholc told councillors: “I consider that any proposal which seeks to redress the vacancy prob­ lem would be an improvement and benefit those businesses currently in occupation in the courtyard.” He also told councillors that a precedent


O P T / C / A


had been set last year, when a similar shop- to-office application had been granted for another Swan Courtyard property. This now housed an estate agency.
