Lofty home for a forgotten suitcase full of memories


SORTING through rub­ bish took one Clitheroe man to a loftier plainl For while in his loft


preparing for a trip to the tip, Mr Ken Parkinson, of Linden Drive, discovered a long-forgotten 'suitcase,


packed with proof copies of hundreds of poems written by his grandfather, Mr J. P. Parkinson. Many were written for


the Advertiser and Times between 1890 and 1941. Together with the poems was a copy of Mr J. P. Parkinson's book, "The Legends of Old Clitheroe",


again written in rhyme and published in 1914. Among the literary col­


lection was a poem entitled ”2001", in which Mr Parkinson muses on Clitheroe's future. An extract reads: "Old Clitheroe still


stands, and will do, I guess till the year 2001; But will it be bigger, or will it be less, in the year 2001? If all who seek work into lodgings are sent, And house rents keep going up 20%, I t seems to me scores will have 'taken their went' before 2001."
