HALLWAYS, corridors and staircases may- tend to be seen as access routes to the main


i ^ * )


rooms in the house, but do not dismiss them - they can offer wonderful opportunities for


• storage and display. . As the introduction into the house, the


entrance hall is very important in establishing a good atmosphere. It should make visitors


feel at home, which means that it should be


free of clutter. Leslie Geddes-Brown has just written a.


book, “Hallways, Corridors And Stairways” - and admits that she got the idea by accident. “I was working on an entirely different book


and had been giving a lot of thought to essen­ tial decorative treatments for the home when i t struck me that the attention had been


S 4 " ! V l


focused exclusively on the closed rooms — , those cubes or rectangles closed off from the rest of the building with one or more doors.” Houses and apartments have traditionally -


been seen as a series of reception and utility rooms - at least, in estate agents’-particulars - but, when it comes to interior design, there is a great deal more to consider. - Leslie says: “Between the rooms are a whole


series of service areas that give access to the main spaces. They are rarely mentioned in house particulars except in passing because few people see them as anything but sec­ ondary to the main purpose of the,building.


. She adds: “But they are by no means sec­ ondary. The entrance hall is the introduction .


to everything that follows and as such is cru­ cial in setting the scene. The stairs, too, are, extremely important because they are the sin­ gle element that holds the building together,


floor by floor.”


Halls are places where you can welcome vis­ itors and friends -


. they are small areas where


people arrive and leave. Since they will not be lived in, Leslie suggests that they can be treat­ ed as stage sets.


Landing and corridors provide the continu­ . ■ ■ ■


ity in a house and they should be designed to create a foretaste of what will happen next. According to Leslie, halls and staircases can


be used to show off collections and pictures. “These previously unconsidered spaces can


be used to show off. The high walls of even the smallest staircase and the extended length of corridors are invitations to display collections. I have no fewer than 18 coloured etchings of The Crimea up one wall, all framed in the same way and close-hung,” she says. Plates, paintings or pottery would look per­

A THIRD Alpha course will start in Whalley tonight. It starts from 7p.m. at the village primary school. Alpha follows a format developed by Holy Trinity


Church, Brompton, for exploring the true meaning of the Christian faith, and gives all who take part the chance to discuss relevant issues in a welcoming environment. This third Alpha course in Whalley follows the success of two previous courses.

Ramblers’ white rose


destination WHITE rose country was the recent destination for Clitheroe Ramblers' Club.' A party headed into the


Yorkshire Dales for a circu­ lar walk from Horton-in- Ribblesdale.


•„ The gro.up took the


rough Pennine Way track towards Hawes, first stop­ ping for refreshments at Sell Gill Holes and then breaking for lunch at Calf Holes, just beyond Old Ing, where members watched


. potholers preparing to make a descent. Having passed the


nature reserve at Ling Gill, the party left the Pennine Way path to take a moor­ land route to Nether Lodge to pick up the south-bound Ribble Way. At God's Bridge, a nat­


ural rock bridge over Brow Gill, group members copied potholers seen earlier by following the stream bed underground and emerging the other side of the bridge. They then continued


along the way's pleasant green track back to Sell Gill Holes for the downhill walk into Horton.


Motoring expert offers words of wisdom to student drivers


AS Ribble Valley students prepare to head off to: their new universities and col­ leges, experts are warning of the dangers facing novice long-distance drivers. BSM's managing direc­


tor, Mr Paul Atkinson, said: "Many youngsters use


the long summer holiday to learn to drive and soon afterwards leave home for the first time, but many of them have probably never


driven continuously before for more than a two-hour driving lesson, covering per­ haps 30 miles or so. And unless they have taken post-test motorway lessons or a Pass Plus course, they will probably have less than adequate motorway skills


too." BSM advises those tack­


ling long distances to plan routes carefully, ensure breaks are taken and have a


good night's sleep before setting off. Drivers are also being urged to check their vehicles before setting off and make sure their cars 1 are well ventilated from the start of the journey. Said Mr Atkinson: |


. "Every year there are stu­ dents looking forward to their new lives — but who start them off in the worst possible way with an acci- | . dent en route."


Funding will help ensure offenders pay their fines and costs promptly


COURTS have received funding to ensure that offenders in the Ribble Valley pay


their fines promptly. • \ The Lord Chancellor's Department has


awarded £285,000 to the Lancashire Mag­ istrates’ Courts Service to help increase the collection rate on fines, compensation


orders and court costs. Fines clinics will be introduced at courts


throughout the county, including those in Blackburn, which deal with Ribble Valley offenders. They will allow magistrates to deal with more serious payment defaulters. Facilities to pay by credit card and debit card have been introduced locally and it is


also planned to run a debt counselling and advisory service using volunteer groups. New measures to enforce payment


include campaigns enabling enforcement officers, supported by the police and with the help of local authorities, to target fines defaulters.


Using locally-based intelligence and


armed with arrest warrants, the officers | will work in teams to concentrate on target areas day and night over 72-hour periods. A County Council spokesman said


offenders will be persuaded that they risk a much more stringent penalty - e\ prison - if they do not pay up on time.
