^ U I V O EQUIPMENT v CATERING


HE village of Worston and its pub, the Calf’s Head, are steeped


in history. The village was known as Wutheston in


the earliest written records going


back to the 1240s. It has a fascinating past involving watermills, bull baiting and lead


mining. The latest development is the outright purchase of what is now being developed as the Calf’s Head country restaurant, hotel and watering hole by a couple very experienced in looking after pub and dining customers, Pam


i makes even a lunchtime trip to the Calf’s Head quick and easy for people


and Chris Medley. Already there is a new look and a new atmosphere at the pub. An important feature for everyone is the quiet, plenty-of- parking location just a minute’s drive from the A59 junction on the Gisburn side of Clitheroe. This


from miles around. It is open all day every day, with bar and restaurant meals at lunchtime and into the late evening and light


snacks any time. Mrs Medley was one of the founders of The Old Stone House, Mitton, 17 years ago, and she and her husband are greatly enjoying their new life, although it will be very hard work for some time to come! Chef Tony Cancelliere is a key figure and was with the couple at Mitton for many years. He presides over an all­ round menu catering for traditional


and modern tastes. The previous owners wanted the Calf’s Head as a house, but the Medleys shared local views that the community should not lose its pub, and that the right management approach would

secure its future. Since the couple arrived, the kitchens have been completely refurbished and there has been a lot of work in the bar and restaurant. Mr Medley, an experienced gardener, is looking


l forward to the challenge of restoring the large grounds to


their former glory. Mrs Medley, with her long experience, and the rest of of the team at the Calf’s Head, are looking forward to catering for weddings and other functions throughout the year. They are well aware of the importance of achieving quality through keen


pricing. The premises have the added asset of a dance


floor, so the options are unlimited. The Calf’s Head is also opening its doors to the


numerous ramblers and cyclists who visit the area. In fact, anyone is welcome to drop in.


Three real ales are. available in the well-stocked bar, but the team will happily serve tea or coffee.


The Calf’s Head has excellent cn-suite ■ c o n accommodation for those, who want to stay and enjoy the beautiful views at this foot- of-Pcndle location.

Fire-fighters’ m e s sa g e


CLITHEROE’S fire­ f ighters are issuing a warning with their sea­


son's greetings. While wishing local folk


a happy, safe and peaceful holiday, they are urging all homes to f it smoke alarms. They are also warning those who already have alarms not to become complacent, but to clean and check that their, alarm is in good working order once a month, replacing its bat­ teries annually. Said Station Comman­


der David McGrath: "A smoke alarm can be the difference between life and death. I t is an early warn­ ing system th a t never


sleeps." Mr McGrath also rec­


ommended all households to devise a fire plan, so that every member of the family was confident on what action to take should fire break out.

l e e s Castle’s new


multi-million pound serubberunit


LOCAL MP Nigel Evans has visited Cas­ tle Cement at Clitheroe to see the new £5 mil­ lion scrubber unit in


operation. After touring the site, Mr


Evans said.he was very impressed with the emis­ sion figures, which are mon­ itored by Castle Cement and the Environment Agency. He added: "The Ribblesdale works has set the standard for the rest of the world to'follow. I con­ gratulate them and look forward to the scrubber being fully operational next


year.


"The emission figures are not what we would have


envisaged a year ago. They are considerably lower and it is clear-that the £5 mil­ lion scrubber has been well worth it. The Environment Agency has set emission targets for Castle Cement and they are being con­ stantly monitored." : "Yet the EA expects the

ronment Agency, when looking for practice in the production of cement, will be looking to ensure that other production facilities will be operating to similar tight emission standards."


Former postmistress regales her audience


I FORMER postmistress and leading drama direc­ tor Mrs Barbara Taylor fascinated a meeting of the Clitheroe branch of the University of the


I Third Age. "My Two Lives"


recounted both her work and her hobby. Her day job ranged from dealing with a few people in lone­ ly rura l areas to thou­ sands in a large district. Throughout her varied Post Office life, her love of the theatre was strongly


pursued and again the audience was delighted


with many memories. The U3A treasurer, Mr


Malcolm Blackburn, was in


the chair and after a ques­ tion time reflecting the great interest the' talk aroused the meeting was brought to a close with well deserved applause. The next meeting will be


the annual general meeting on the afternoon of Janu­ ary 12th a t the Parish Church Hall, Church Brow, Clitheroe.
