Clitheroe 422324 (Editorial), 422323 (Advertising), Burnley 422331 (Classified), www.clitheroetoday.co.uk new plan for Calderstones


A REPLACEMENT 30-bed accommodation and facilities block costing around £14m. is being planned for Calderstones Hospital, Whalley. I t could open in three or four years' time. The trust which runs the hospital


is in the final stages of preparing a formal bid for the project to the Strategic Health Authority, which holds the purse strings. I t is under­ stood that the authority has indicat­


ed that the money would be available if the case for spending it was strong enough. The block, offering medium secure


accommodation for patients with learning difficulties, would not mean any increase in the 200 or so men and women currently cared for at the complex. I t would replace one of the hospital's original buildings, which date back to just before the First World War. They are increasingly difficult to maintain, both struc­ turally and in terms of providing


comfort for patients and acceptable working conditions for staff whilst maintaining adequate security. The block would need to cater for


all the needs, sleeping, eating,'recre­ ational, educational and therapeutic, of the patients, plus staff facilities. The expected cost reflects the need for modem specifications, high stan­ dards and architecture fitting in with the surroundings. • What is described as "a robust


options appraisal exercise" is now taking place to support the case for a


new building. "The bid for capital investment is in the context of the trust's long-term goals and objectives for the range of services it expects to provide," says a report from Director of Corporate Strategy Mr Graham Jowett to trust board members. Mr Jowett says that, at the


moment, it is not known where­ abouts on the site the new unit would be built or whether it would be single or two-storey. Nor is it clear whether the existing accommodation would be demolished or used for some other


purpose. Calderstones NHS Trust has developed considerably in the years since it was formed after the "Care in the Community" scheme allowed many patients from the for­ mer hospital to live in the outside world. Recently major improvements have been made to the appearance


■ and security of the Whalley complex and its presence appears to have had no effect on the development or value of the adjacent Calderstones Park housing scheme.

Fellowship being revived and seeks new interest


THE Clitheroe Unitarian Fellow­ ship is being revived, and seeks interest from people of any faith or none. The Unitarians have a flourish­


ing church in Padiham and some of its members live in the Ribble


Valley. One, Mrs Gillian Graves, says:


“We hope our fellowship will lead, in a small way, to greater tolera­ tion and understanding between groups in many areas.” Meetings are being held on the


third Friday of the month at Clitheroe Books in Moor Lane. The first is a week tomorrow and most of the evening will be devot­ ed to discussion. “Spirituality or Faith Without


Dogma” will be the subject. “We are hoping that people


who would like to know what Unitarianism is will come and find out,” says Mrs Graves. Inquiries can be made on 012500 .425800.

Naturalists enjoy their walk


M EM B ER S of Clitheroe Naturalists enjoyed a walk starting from Clapham. The weather was very wet in the morning,


but the sun finally shone through the cloud. Going through fieldpaths and bridleways


the walk went through Austwick and the tiny hamlet of. Wharfe. After a gradual climb panoramic views were seen of Crum- mock Dale, Moughton, Robin Proctor’s Scar and even Pendle Hill in the distance. From here the walk went by Norber


Erractics. These giant boulders weighing several


tons were deposited by glaciers in the ice age and are of Silurian slate. They rest upon the younger carboniferous limestone rock. The path led down to Thwaite Lane and


through the two tunnels under Inglebor- ough estate and back into Clapham. Some ravens were seen high above the hill top and 35 species of wild flowers noted. The next walk is to Bolton-by-Bowland


on September 20th. Contact 428117, book­ ing essential. Jea n Robson and C hristin e R othw ell


Grandmother raises cash for charity


A GRANDMOTHER has raised money for charity instead of receiving birthday pre­ sents. Mrs Mary Bishop, of Hazel Grove,


Clitheroe, celebrated her 80th birthday with a party at the cricket club. However, instead of a pile of presents from her two sons,


daughters-in-law, six grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and friends she insisted that they make a donation to Cancer Research UK. Family members agreed that it was a won­


derful gesture, which has raised over £500 for the charity.
