FOR a record eighth time in a row, Clitheroe’s D. Byrne and Co. has won the North of England Region­ al Wine Merchants of the Year award, as announced in this month’s Wine International magazine. The long established


wine and spirit business won the award for retain­ ing its unique formula. And it would seem that


the family business will go from strength to strength as the fifth generation of Byrnes has now joined the King Street store on a full­


time basis. Joseph, the 16-year-old


son of Andrew Byrne, has been interested in joining his father and uncles Philip and Tim in their ■ award- winning shop for some time, and since leav­ ing St Augustine’s RC High School this year has been keen to make it his full-time career. Joseph, following in the footsteps of his great,


great grandfather Mr Denis Byrne, who founded the company in 1879, is used to winning ways as last year Joseph, along with his father Andrew, were joint winners of a competition during a whisky festival oh the Isle of Skye to identify eight different single malts in a blind “sniffing”.


Big celebrations are in


the offing for next year when the shop will cele­ brate its 125th anniver­ sary of business in the same premises in Victoria Buildings, King Street.. Our picture shows

We don’t ruled by urban council!

PEOPLE in largely rural areas such as the Ribble Valley do not want to be “subsumed” in urban ones, claim local councillors. Ribble Valley Borough Council’s 'please let us keep our identity and

larger areas would be a disaster, says the council. It accepts that the Government has
