THERE is a lot more to Accrington than bricks, football and
far-off battles. At th e h e a r t of L an
cashire's Hill Country, Accrington is the princi pal town in the Borough of H y n d b u rn . I t has a proud and noble history, b u t has a lre ad y s e t i ts sights firmly on the new millennium. There has been a sub
stantial amount of invest ment in the town and mix ing the old with the new has been accomplished by a local authority keen to re ta in the bes t of the town's historic past, but also offering all the best of the present. Accrington had one of
the first shopping arcades in the country, b u ilt in 1896. Now, more than a century later, shoppers can buy goods in modern sur roundings in a family ori entated atmosphere with nationally-known names dotted in among family- owned businesses. An historic trail guides

material. Pedestrianisation of the
town centre has made for safer, more comfortable family shopping, and parking is still free - some thing rarely found in towns of i ts size today. Discs have to be displayed during the day and can be obtained from shops and the town hall, an imposing building, built in 1858 as a memorial to the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, and also home to a cornu copia of information leaflets, shopping guides, maps and memorabilia. Much of the old area of

Row with boyfriend leads to driving ban
A WHALLEY woman crashed her car into a lamp-post as she travelled
to sort out a row with her boyfriend. Blackburn magistrates heard that when
she was breathalysed, Nicola Susan Sconce was found to be nearly twice the legal
drink driving limit. Sconce (23), of The Old Stone House,
Mitton Road, was fined £100, with £40 costs, and disqualified from driving for 18 months. The court heard that she gave a reading of 67 against a legal limit of 35. Miss Wendy Shackleton (prosecuting)
said a patrolling police officer came across Sconce's Seat car, which had crashed into a lamp post in Mitton Road, about 12-20
a.m.
the defendant walking towards Mitton, said Miss Shackleton. "She immediately admitted being the owner of the car aiad that she had been driving it at the time or

not pre-meditated."
Hi-tec Audrey hopes to go surfing the net from her home in Sabden
HI-TEC Audrey Barrett has made it her mission to get global "web-watchers" surfing into Sabden. The former teacher, of
ACCRINGTON Market Hall and the market clock, first set in 1871
Pendleside Close, is aiming to let everyone in the world see the delights of Sabden for themselves by creating the village's very own web
site. "I am hoping it's going to

involve the whole village whereby they supply me with photographs and any historical, geographical, commercial and education al information about Sab
den. " she said. Mrs Barrett has taken her idea to Sab den’s Millen
nium Committee. The self-taught web-site
designer admits she is "technology-minded" and
has owned a personal com puter for around four years. Now Mrs Barrett hopes
that people with past and present connections with
Camera club views its way through prints
MEMBERS of Ribblesdale Camera Club viewed the Inter-Club Photographic Alliance’s Home and Trade
Processed Colour Print Folio a t their recent meeting. A lot of high-quality round in which it was elimi-
pr ints arrived in no less than five folio boxes. No taped commentary was provided, but the work was enjoyed, especially as Rib blesdale made good show ing in both classes, gaining around fifth place out of over 20 clubs. John West and Derek Williams were particularly successful, being awarded a full 10 marks for excellent entries, and certificates of merit. The same Lancashire
grouping of clubs held itsannual slide knockout competition where 15 clubs from Chorley to Todmor- den and Ribblesdale to Bury competed. Each club submitted 11 slides with no more than three from each worker. Each slide was awarded a mark for the
nated. The most successful entries from Ribblesdale, which survived until the fourth round, were: "Lytham Mill by Moon light," by Frank Barnes and "QJ hauled freight on the Jingpeng Pass," by Ken Geddes. At this stage only the top slides were left in the competition and Rib blesdale achieved a cred itable fifth place when the marks were calculated. Next week will be the
judging of the annual com petition. New members are
always welcome and com petition nights are a good chance to see the best efforts of the club members. More information is
available by ringing 01200 423474.
Sporting chance for cash A SPORTING chance for Lottery funding is to be given to

ticular its small grants programme, which makes project awards of up to £5,000, a team from the North West Sports Council will be in the borough on March 24th. Anyone associated with a local club or team, who would
like to attend, should telephone Mr Chris Hughes, Leisure and Tourism Manager for Ribble Valley Borough Coun cil, on 01200 452479 to reserve their place.

Chess club lolds second
division place CLITHEROE Chess Club A team main tained its second-place position in the second division of the North East Lancashire League with a 3-2 win
over Rawtentall C. The first game to finish
was on board three, when Ray Sutcliffe made a seri ous error and quickly lost his queen, following which he resigned. The match was levelled
on board four by Brendan Brown who had a similarly comprehensive victory. On board two, Eric Mansfield was unable to make any progress against his oppo nent and, after swopping several pieces, the game was agreed drawn. Another draw occurred
on board five, when Stephen Robinson was also unable to make progress against his opponent. On the top board, John Smith for Clitheroe was building up an extremely powerful position so th a t i t was inevitable tha t his oppo nent would be forced to
resign. The next match for
Clitheroe A in on March 24th, against Crusaders B at home.
Bailed on
assault charge CLITHEROE man Stephen James Burgess (21), of Cardigan Avenue, was remanded on bail by Blackburn magistrates after pleading not guilty to assaulting local publican Mr Philip Knight. A charge of assaulting

urday. There were bring-and-
buy, cake and secondhand book stalls, well patronised
by an excellent crowd of supporters. The president of the WI, Mrs Helena Keighley, thanked everyone who had supported the worthwhile cause and to all who had worked and helped to organise the event. The competition winners

Decision on village
hall’s future is deferred A DECISION on demol ishing Chipping Village H a ll to make way for housing has been deferred. And members of Ribble
Valley Borough Council's Planning and Development Committee agreed that the decision over the applica tion to build social needs housing at the site in Kirk lands be delegated to the council's chief executive, Mr David Morris. Some villagers have

voiced their concerns over the proposed housing, claiming it would result in a loss of parking space for res idents and tha t dwellings for the elderly should be built elsewhere. Several new
objections have been received in recent weeks, concerning a loss of privacy and s ta tin g th a t care should be taken when deciding which materials to
use. A new hall is being pro
posed nearby, with money from the Millennium Com mission and community funds, and Chipping Parish Council wants planning permission for the old site to be put to a marketable use. Chairman of the commit
tee, Coun. Frank Dyson (Clitheroe), said he was pleased at how all the par ties concerned with the issue had worked well together.
