Pupils plant yew trees in village’s special Millennium garden


A SPECIAL Millennium garden in Ribch- ester has been graced with yew trees, all planted by the village's youngsters. The 112 pupils at St Wilfrid's Primary


School took to the site, at the entrance to the village playing fields, bust week to plant what will become living memories for them. The work and the purchase of the trees has been made possible through a 6500 grant from the Lancashire Environ­


ment Action Fund. The tree planting is just one aspect of


events which the village has planned to cel­ ebrate the new century. The garden is also to be the home of four stone carvings by sculptor and stone mason, Fiona Bowley. These monuments will depict the history of the village from early beginnings to the present day and will serve as a focal point for visitors to the area in the future. The young tree planters, aged between


four and 11, were assisted in their work by Mrs Catherine Penny, proprietor of the nearby Stydd Nursery.

idea of the Ribble Training Group and has been taken forward by Rural Signpost. Based in Clitheroe, the company is supported by European funding and is made up of a variety of organisations from across the country, including col­ leges, banks, councils and the National Farmers' Union, all working to pro­ vide services relevant to

they had actually gone down into the woods, sure of a big surprise because every Teddy bear that had been good was having a


party. The youngsters carried it


off well and, having received advice about what they had better do, adopt­ ed disguises of fancy hats with Teddy bear emblems. The group's annual pic­


nic was a success and our picture shows children and staff enjoying themselves. (200600/2)

Plan number of new houses will be significantly exceeded


TOO many houses are almost certain to be built in the area over


the next few years. A Ribble Valley Borough


Council report says that 2,250 went up from 1991 to the start of this year and permissions exist for anoth­


er 1,161. Forward planning officer


Mr Michael Kirby says tha t the structure plan requirement is 2,400 and so this will be significantly


exceeded. This number is seen by


the county council and by the Government as adverse­ ly affecting the overall housing plan for North East Lancashire. Mr Kirby's report, to be


intended to meet a clearly identified local need are rec­ ommended for refusal. Mr Kirby emphasises

Old diary subject of history talk


IF you are the writer of a diary, how would you feel in 200 years time if it was used as a document to study the


social history of today? Part of a diary that was written in the


early 1700s was the basis of a talk given to the Ribble Valley Family History


Group at its last meeting. Dr Alan Crosby has an aim to tran­


scribe fully the diary of Edmund Har- r


rold, a Manchester wig maker. From the years that were chosen as the


basis of the talk, society members were given a wonderful insight into the life of a wig maker, his family life and how he coped with his alcoholism, religion and his strate­


gies for getting himself a new wife after the death of a wife in childbirth. I t was a very enlightening and often


humorous talk by a speaker who is not to be missed.
