New look for old dairy is given the thumbs down


A COUNTRY location planning application has been rejected. Permission had earlier been granted


by the Ribbie Valley Borough Council for conversion of former dairy buildings at the Old Dairy, Chaigley, into nine hol­ iday homes. But the Planning and Development

TUB Clitheroc Castle Museum welcomed more than 200 visitors through its ancient doors to mark Museum Month. Probablv the most famous of visitors

the weekend included an exhibition on the life of Clitheroe sculptress Pauline Aitken. Horn in the town in 1803, she was sculp­ tress at the Royal Academy between 1920 and 1025 and produced some amazing pieces of work. Four of her most well- known pieces were griffins which adorned Clitheroe Castle bandstand. Bocal historians also visited the museum

wood, from Waddington, brought Miss Tombs a bottle the contents of which were identified as a pickled snake. It was an item which proved popular with the younger visitors. Also of interest to the younger people was a display of more mod­ ern objects including vinyl records, video tapes and CDs. The essence of the display was the care of such items - or not as the case may be - and people were interested to see bow the CDs had started to disinte­


grate. By far most of the visitors were families


over the weekend and were able to fill in some of the gaps surrounding the history of Aitken's Clitheroe house. The Aitken exhibition runs until dune 18th. The museum became richer in unusual objects at the weekend after Mr Under­

the plan. Coun. Harry Backhouse (Waddington) asked if a condition that only people who worked, or had last worked, in the workspace could live there was enforcable, and was told that it was. Coun. Prank Dyson (Clitheroe) spoke of


the dilemma the application presented. "Here we have a dilapidated set of build­


ings which in no way reflects the tradition­ al buildings of the Ribbie Valley and yet we have an application for residential conver­ sion, including some totally new build resi­ dential accommodation," said Coun. Dyson. "To each, by way of a palliative, is added space which could be used for


employment purposes. "We are all very conscious of the fact


that diversity is the cry in the agricultural industry. But I have to say I think this application is a bit of a wrong way round. If it had been to replace dilapidated agri­ cultural buildings with workshops generat­ ing employment, with a very limited resi­ dential aspect, it might be justifiable. Coun. Howel Jones said he was surprised

Probus members observe a minute’s silence


MEMBERS of Clitheroo Probus Club observed a minute's silence in memory of colleague Mr Jamie Sykes. On a happier note, chair­


man Mr Tom Duff congrat­ ulated fellow member Mr Henry Vickery on his golden wedding anniversary and then introduced vice-chair­ man Mr George Glendin- ning, who invited sponsor­ ship for his walk across Morecambe Bay for the local heart machine fund. Following the business


on this work is tribute enough to the energies of Ribbie Valley Rail members. Now, however, attention is to be concentrated on yet another massive fund-rais­ ing goal when they hope to raise a further .£l.5m. to extend the line as far as I Iel- lifield. Much of the detail he said


meeting, Mr Peter Moore, Ribbie Valley Rail chair­ man, brought members up to date with the hopes and aspirations of his very active group. In an informative and


often very amusing talk Mr Moore filled in the back­ ground of the 16 years of dedicated effort put in to restore the rail link to Black­ burn and beyond as well as the refurbishment of Clithcroc station and the others on the line. The monumental task of raising and spending ,£8m.


was extensively covered in the excellent supplement published by the Clilheroe Advertiser and Times, and Mr Moore concentrated on the serious problems faced in the day-to-day working of the line, the most distressing being the volume of vandal­ ism, with its attendant threat of physical injury. Much of this came from young people and children. Schools continued to edu­ cate their pupils, but much more should be expected of parents in exercising more control over their children. The club's thanks were


expressed by Mr Sidney Cookson, who recalled his own early experience of railway work.
