day. During la s t week, the


Vicar of Whalley Parish Church, the Rev. Chris Sterry, and a team of village volunteers were busy clear­ ing the premises ready for the start of the major reno­ vation scheme. Members of the Whalley community, not all of them regular members of the church con­ gregation, helped to pack and move boxes and drive


I vans. Saturday saw the last


I effort to empty the historic building in preparation for the arrival of the workmen


1 this week. In the next few months, a


new lighting scheme will be installed a t the church. And, as well as being com­


pletely rewired and redeco­ rated, much of the intricate woodwork will be cleaned


by specialists. Keeping the chinch open


while the work was in progress would not only have-taken longer, but--


would also have cost more. As a result, the whole build­ ing closed on January 1st and is not due to reopen until Easter Sunday. Although tens of thou­


sands have been raised towards the cost of the refurbishment scheme, there is still a shortfall of £8,000. However Mr Sterry said he was confident that the money would be raised. Pictured helping to clear


the church are, from the left, Chris Lowe, Barbara Johnson, John Pilkington, Gordon Woodward, Nick Walker and Mr Sterry. (T070101/8)

February 2001. Christine Bone on


the group’s music scene went quiet until Rob, then living in York, saw a poster advertising a battle of the bands. He contacted the other members of the group and, after a day's rehearsal, they decided to enter and went on to win the competi­


tion. Since its initial success


the band has gone on to relocate in Manchester and has played a t gigs at Clitheroe's Dog and Sports Bar, as well as at venues in Lancaster and Manchester. After appearing first on the bill a t Roadhouse, the band, whose exciting sound can be likened to REM, James and New Order, was


asked back to headline. Anyone who wants infor­


mation about the Road­ house gig, or about the coach which will be going | from Clitheroe, can ring 01617989507. Pictured, from the left,

A spectacular end to fire-fighter’s career


by Peter Dewhurst


KEITH TAYLOR’S last shift as a fire-fight­ er proved to be more spectacular than he


could have imagined. For the Glitheroe man


ended up a t one of the biggest fires he had seen in his 26-year career just hours before he hung up his hel­ met for the last time. Fire-fighter Taylor’s last


day was Thursday and there were surprise plans for colleagues past and present to gather a t Nelson,Fire Station to say farewell to


him. But, shortly after noon,


Keith and the rest of his Green Watch colleagues at Nelson were called to a massive fire at Pine Direct


in Burnley. Keith said: “We were


around the fourth pump to arrive at the scene. I was there for more than an hour, but then they told me to return to Nelson for the farewell. I didn't know any- thlng about it until then. Bom in Great Harwood,


Mr Taylor worked as a rail­ way clerk, a betting shop manager and at Mullards before joining the fire ser­ vice in 1974. He spent his firs t 13


•years’ service at Burnley Fire Station, then moved to Nelson;-where he has spent


the final 13 years. He never sought promotion, and said: “I have always enjoyed


being a fireman.” Former colleagues, inclu­


ding Tom. Hardman, Peter Isherwood, Bob Jowett and Paul Barwick returned to wish him well and they were joined by Lancashire Chief Fire Officer Mr Peter Hol­


land. At Nelson, Mr Taylor


served on Green Watch, which was close to becom­ ing Grey Watch in recent years, with four of the seven on the watch being past 50. That average will drop with the retirement of Mr Tay­ lor, following that of Paul Barwick. He said: “I will miss the


job. I have been on some big fires over the years, but the one on my last day was cer- | tainly one of the bigger


ones.”
