Motor cycle boartaclie and grief spotlit by coroner


Rider killed in roUision with church wall


"A TRAGEDY that cannot be overstated" was the,deputy


coroner's opinion of the death of a well-known Clitheroe man killed when his motor cycle crashed into a churchyard wall. At the inquest on Mr Stephen


Harrison (26), of George Street, the deputy coroner for Blackburn, Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley, Mr Michael Singleton, said: "Once again, we are faced with the death of a young man while riding a powerful motor cycle, a matter that causes my office and the police considerable concern, being a similar accident to many more


in this area. "The heartache and grief caused


is incalculable. I am faced with his distraught wife, supported by mem­ bers of her family who feel similar­


ly. "But it does not end there. I have


before me eye-witnesses and I know that the horrific events arising from what was such a short journey will


never leave their memory." Three colleagues of Mr Harrison,

manoeuvre to overtake. Thoy described how the back end oi


the machine seemed to go out of con­ trol and they watched him fight to stay upright as he mounted the pav^ ment kerb, swerved to miss a pedestri­ an and skimmed the bordering hedgerow before crashing into the wall


of St Paul's Church, Low Moor. The impact threw Mr Harnson,


whose full-face helmet came off, from his bike and into the road. Hearing the crash, Mr Smith turned aroimd and joined his friends in caring for Mr Harrison while waiting for the emer­ gency services. Pedestrian Mrs Anne Rees told the


inquest that at the time she was obliv­ ious to the potential danger from the threat of a collision with Mr Harri­ son. She had been walking home from an aerobics class and, although she had heard the bike, had not turned


around. Other witnesses present at the


inquest, Mrs Janice Hirst and her daughter, Mrs Elspeth Towers, who had been in Edisford Road walking the family dog, both reported Mr Harrison travelling at speed, a point taken up by accident investigator PC


Christopher Driver. He confirmed that his investigation


indicated that sharp manoeuvring at

A post-mortem examination'


showed that Mr Harrison, who died shortly after the accident, had sus-; tained severe head injuries, including a fractured skull, and had a broken leg and broken ribs. Summing up, Mr Singleton


appealed to everyone owning a power-, ful motor cycle to realise the vulnera­


ble position they were in. He said: "It does not take a great


error of judgment for serious cons^ quences to follow. It is grossly unfair to place other people in the situation


of the grief that follows. "I would hope that young men who


are in the fortunate position to be able to afford such motor cycles can learn the lesson that they have to ride at all times with responsibility. My sympa­ thy goes out to Mrs Harrison and the others as well. The tragedy cannot be


overstated." A verdict of accidental death was


recorded on Mr Harrison. He worked for A. J. A. Smith


Transport Ltd on the Salthill Indus­ trial Estate, Clitheroe, and often played soccer at Roefield. Mr Harrison was also a member of


Chatburn's snooker team, and was keen on walking in the countryside. He had been a motor cycle enthusiast; for many years.


Hand grenade is defused as bomb squad says it’s a replica


TWO schoolboys dropped a bombshell when they ran into their Ribble Valley home with a replica hand


grenade. Mrs Susan Gillibrand, of


Chew Hill Farm, Billington, was aghast when her two sons Joshua (eight) and Christian (13) came bound­ ing into the house clutching what looked like a genuine First World War hand grenade. The boys had been playing in a nearby brook on Saturday evening when they found the device. "It was under water and it


had two spikes sticking out of it. We fished it out and it was then that I realised


what it was. I put it in my pocket and carried it back to the house. I was shaking a bit," said Christian. "I couldn’t believe it when

icbNlINGiOFfAGE^


who runs a security compa­ ny based in Whalley, picked up the grenade and put it in a bin at the bottom of the garden. Before long, several police


officers were on the scene, the bomb disposal unit at Liverpool had been alerted and a major operation was in progress. The family was evacuated to nearby St Augustine's RC High School and neighbours were taken to a local church hall.The area was cordoned off, but on their arrival the bomb disposal unit immediately declared it a harmless fake.


PC'Mark Wilson said:


"Mr Gillibrand did the right thing, because it really did look like a genuine First World War hand grenade." After two hours the fami­


ly returned to their home, into which they moved only three weeks ago. Police officers did not


find any other suspicious- looking devices during a search of the brook and have no clues as to how the repli­ ca grenade got there. With the tension "de­


fused" the bomb disposal unit officers showed the chil­ dren how their robot worked

visually impaired listeners in the Ribble Valley and beyond. They are recorded at the Pendle Club, in Clitheroe, and contain news from the Clitheroe Adver­ tiser and Times. At the meeting, treasurer


Mrs Iris Gregson expressed thanks to all the organisa­ tions and individuals who had made donations during the past year. The chair­ man, Mr Charles Pearce, reported on a year in which the group had continued to enjoy and appreciate sup­ port and assistance from a wide range of readers and administrative helpers. Special thanks were


expressed to the Pendle Club, the Post Office and the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times. "Without their help and support," said Mr Pearce, "we would not be


able to produce the tapes as efficiently and as quickly as we do, nor to get them to our listeners while the news


is still hot off the press." He also thanked the officers and committee for their support and exemplary effi ciency. Mrs Jean Bailey, who


oversees the administration side, also reported a sue cessful year. The officers elected at the meeting were: chairman, Mr Charles Pearce; vice-chairman, Mr Stanley Snape; secretary, Mr Stanley Taylor; treasur­ er, Mrs Iris Grogson. Other members of the committee wore re-elected. Anyone interested in


finding out more details of the Talking Newspaper, or who knows anyone who would benefit from receiv­ ing the tapes (there is no charge) can'contact Mr Pearce on 01200 424939 or Mrs Bailey on 01200 423420.


Red-faced shoplifter caught


A SHOPLIFTER who stole a tube of sun cream from a Clitheroe shop was left red-faced as he was caught fol­


lowing a lengthy chase by police officers. The fast-fingered thief hot-footed it along Church Brow


on to York Street and on to Wellgate where he was picked up on Clitheroe police closed circuit television cameras. He was cornered by police officers who were waiting for


him in the Tesco car park at the rear of the Dog and Par tridge Inn.
