THE season of balls was upon the area, with many venues tempting 1950s party-goers to trip the light fan­ tastic on their floorboards. Clitheroe and District Agri­ cultural Society was having its first annual ball m the King Lane Hall, with dancing to Syd Ashmead and his band from 8 p.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets were five shillings. In The Hall, Lowergate, the 4th annual halloween ball was being held. For the bargain price of 2s 6d, dancing to the Melody Makers Dance Band, plus spot prizes, could be enjoyed. The Church Institute, at Chatburn, was the place to go to enjoy the Lew Askew Orchestra. An added bonus to those attending from Chtheroe was that there was a late coach back to town. Meanwhile, John Wallace and his famous broadcasting band was playing at the Carnival Ball organised by Clitheroe Labour Party. Tickets to the King Lane Hall venue


were 3s 6d.

Clitheroe, returned from his job at Bowker Bros, one evening to find the garden he had been working on for eight years had been dug up to lay a sewer pipe. Con- tract workers on adjacent local authority land where seven houses were being built had given the family just 15 minutes' notice of the work.
