H a p p y memories
A SCHOLARSHIP from the old Clitheroe Town Council helped Arthur Watson become a pupil of .Clitheroe
Royal Grammar School. And Mr Watson, who cel
ebrated his 80th birthday on Sunday, has never for gotten the help he received 70 years ago to be able to join the school, said one of his nine children, Mrs Paula
Sutcliffe. He was so impressed with
his education at grammar school that eight of his nine children also went to gram mar schools. And two grandsons are now studying
at Oxford.
