Delight as Downham HalFs new gates are unveiled


NEW gates spanning the entrance to Downham Hall have been unveiled, to the delight of Lord and Lady Clitheroe. The handsome


wrought-iron gates, crafted by Downham blacksmith Mr Stephen Marshall, were fitted to replace an original set stolen by thieves two years


ago. Lord Clitheroe's son,


Ralph, spoke of his father and mothers' happiness at seeing the new gates in place. He said: "The origi­


nal gates were present­ ed to my father in 1955. When they were stolen their loss was a very great sadness, but I think th a t the new gates are almost more beautiful than the original." Our picture shows

Cricket Club entertained members of Bolton-by- Bowland CC for the first time this season, and Grindleton were able to field their strongest side. On a hot afternoon, home


skipper Wilkinson won the toss and decided to bat


first. Bolton-by-Bowland , ,

joined at the wicket by Leach and between them, they began to attack the bowling, sharing a stand of 77 before Robinson (24) was run out. Leach contin­ ued to bat positively reach­ ing 50 before falling victim

served and bric-a-brac and cake stalls were well-sup­


to Hill.With the score at 104 for three, people may have expected a batting collapse to occur, but there is inore steel in the Grindleton line­ up this season and the mid­ dle order, Wilkinson (24), Crossland (23), Middle- brough (19) and Hutchin­ son (17 not out) all chipped in with runs enabling Grindleton to reach a very respectable 199 for eight off 40 overs, a total they should have been able to defend. After tea it was the oppo­


two and an early trip to the Buck Inn looked to be on


the cards. • Grindleton, however, were prepared to carry on fight­ ing. An inspired catch by Pollard and some fine bowl­ ing by Cherry (4 for 34) kept alive a faint hope of


victory. Unfortunately it was


faint and Bolton-by-Bow­ land got home with three wickets to spare, finishing


the sun. All agreed that the sea-front statue of Eric Morecambe, unveiled by the Queen, is truly a fitting memorial to the' great comic, surrounded as it was
