IIIS first marital home was a front room and bedroom at "Mrs Bee's." His second was a bleak and bare cot­

Mitchell style, "Where Cuckoos Fear to Fly" tells the story of life in and around Austwick in the 1950s. Lavishly sprin­ kled with humorous anecdotes of rural life, the book is full of strong characters and tales about remote village life in

side enclosure known to locals as "t'Cuckoo Field." The men of Aust­ wick, so the tale goes, tried to wall in a cuckoo to prevent it from flying back to Africa - and taking the good weather

Homes plan set for village landmark


ANOTHER Gisburn landmark hotel looks set to be converted for


residential use. The doors of the Ribblesdale Arms, Gis­


burn, have been closed for many months while the owners sought a buyer for the property. On Tuesday, Ribble Valley Borough


Council Planning and Development Com­ mittee passed a plan submitted by Gleeson Homes to make seven housing units in the three-storey pub, four in a large adjoining barn and two in a smaller barn. Coun. Frank Dyson (Clitheroe) said: "I


think this is the best chance we have to use this listed building. But it is very unfortu­ nate to lose this public house in Gisburn." A report from the officials said it was


Pram service marks a farewell


THE final pram service before the holidays a t Clitheroe Parish Church had a farewell aspect. The Trood family is leav­

ministry at St John's Theo­ logical College, Notting­ ham. Mrs Priscilla Trood has


been a helper at the services for the past three years, since the time her own chil­ dren, William and Emily,


attended. The present pram service children presented her with a tub of flowers to place outside the family's new home. The photograph shows

Mark (33) is co-owner of the coffee shop in the store and was working when the van


was stolen. He is already counting the cost of the theft as he has had to cancel a gig in Hali­


fax, losing £150. The haul of equipment included speak­


ers, a minidisc player and lights. Much of it was bought by his partner, Sharon Raw- son, and his family, so it has sentimental


value, too. Anyone with information about the theft

Driver thought her ban had expired


A BANNED woman caught behind the wheel thought her driving disqualification had expired, Burnley magistrates heard. Deborah Jane Crisp had been ordered off


the road for nine months, but thought it was six, her solicitor told the court. Crisp, of The Crescent, Clitheroe, admit­


ted driving while disqualified and was put on probation for six months, banned for the same period and must pay £45 costs. In January, Crisp received a nine-month


ban, she was later seen driving a car and when police found out she was disqualified, she replied: "I know, my solicitor told me." Although she had been disqualified in her absence, she had been notified by post. Mr Graeme Tindall (defending) said Crisp


accepted that the owners had made every effort to sell the building as a public house.


Residents’ concerns over


barn’s future RESIDENTS of the Chaigley' area are concerned about a security firm's plan to convert Turner Fold barn into an office and manager’s home. A planning application


by Security Closures Ltd was refused by Ribble Val­ ley Borough Council Plan­ ning Committee last year, but granted on appeal. The committee has now approved a revised plan, making the residential space greater and improv­ ing the access road. Conditions were attached


ensuring th a t the living space was connected to the


business use. Residents have expressed


concern about the future development of the proper­ ty. But officials said that the development was sym­ pathetic to the area, and gave assurances th a t it could be controlled and kept within the terms of the permission.


Seminar for hill farmers


AN NFU seminar on new allowances for hill farmers is being held locally at the end of the month. The Higher Trapp Hotel,


Simonstone, is the venue for one of three such events in the North as the union gathers evidence to present to the Government. It believes that the latest


Gleeson's planning consultant Mrs Janet


Dixon said her clients were anxious for the scheme to go ahead so that they could start upgrading the building, and safeguard it from decay and vandalism. "It was built as a gentleman's residence


and features such as mullioned windows and other stonework have been discovered. More may be found on the upper floors, which have been disused for a long time,"


said Mrs Dixon. The scheme originally included the erec­


tion of a house behind the pub, but this was deleted after the council made it clear that new construction, and the entrance arrangements proposed, were unaccept­ able. The access to the converted buildings, however, was in order. The meeting also granted formal listed building consent for the conversion.
