rapher Mr Donnie Wal­ lace has retraced the footsteps of last centu­ ry's cameramen and made a new record from as nearly the same view­ points as possible. As usual in such excercises,


some scenes are remark­ able for how different they are and some for how l i tt le they have changed. Ample material is to


hand for the book, including articles from such places as Calder- stones, Oakhill College and the former grammar school. , I t is planned to print


1,000 copies and Coun. Ronnan is guaranteeing the costs personally. But


a profit is hoped for and, in line with the ethos of the original book, it will go to help nursing work in Whalley. - Coun. Ronnan is seen
