Crash car overturned


A CAR overturned at the tight bend known as the Devil’s Elbow on the A671, near Read yesterday. The driver was treated for shock at Blackburn Royal

C H IL D R E N with special needs were taken into space on Sunday. The 10 local youngsters, aged


between three and 10, travelled to SPACE, a special unit next to the Willows Child Development Cen­ tre, Preston.


The day out was arranged by Rib­


ble Valley Crossroads, the charity which helps carers by giving them a


break from their everyday caring duties. SPACE is a specially designed envi­


ronment in which special needs chil­ dren can play and romp around with­ out hurting themselves, not only in


safety but surrounded by specific stimuli. The room has special padding on


floors and walls, so that children with poor mobility cannot harm them­ selves, and has special, bright lighting which illuminates the walls. Mrs Shauna Wrigley. of Cross­


roads, explained that the charity received funding from BBC Children in Need, enabling trips like this one to be organised for the children. She said: "They absolutely loved it,


they had a fantastic time.” The day out was completed by a


visit to the Edisford Bridge Hotel where, said Mrs Wrigley: “We had a lovely meal; lots of food and ice cream. Everyone went home very happy and very tired.”


The Crossroads team was also busy


at its fund-raising event as part of the open day event held at Downham Hall.


They organised a treasure hunt, in


which participants had to identify a crossroads on a map of the Ribble Valley where a treasure trove was


buried. The winner was Glenis Potter, of Sabden.


Our picture shows some of the chil­


dren with Crossroads carers about to depart from the Platform Gallery for their trip into SPACE. (T180803/2)


Silverwood auctions attracting a ‘lot’ of interest


LARGE crowds, an increasing num­ ber of “absentee” bidders and others present in person from Germany, Holland and Eire are creating further


growth at Clitheroe’s Silverwoods auctions. Prices achieved at recent sales in


the special hall at Clitheroe Auction Mart have reflected increasing inter­ est, not only in genuine antique items


but also in rural bygones. This applies right down to such minor items of farm equipment as milk


measures, a set of three selling for £95. A Victorian mahogany secretaire


bookcase made an exceptional £1,850, and a similar aged walnut credenza went for £1,600. An oak tack cupboard fetched £800 and


there was £450 each for a Georgian chest of drawers and an early 19th Century oak settle.


Paintings by Netherwood and


Cawthom went for £500 each and sil­ ver was popular, with £620 for a 52 ounce tray, £250 for a tankard and as


much as £80 for a small silver top butter dish. Collectable ceramics are always in


demand, with more than £75 being paid for for jugs, £150 for Royal Worcester vases and £62 for a Beswick shire horse. Items of any sort go under the


hammer. They range from a cased banjo at £250 to a brass coal scuttle,


£100. A charcoal-heated iron fetched £75. The next sale is this morning.


Visiting priest Canon Peter Hallam will be the visiting priest


at St Leonard's Church, Langho, on Sunday for the 9 a.m. Holy Communion service. He will


also minister at the 10-30 a.m.parish commu­ nion. The licencing of the Rev. David Noblett as


the new priest-in-charge at St Leonard’s will be held on August 29th at 7-30 p.m.


There will be a Jacob’s join supper in the com­ munity hall after the service to give everyone


the opportunity to meet David, Liz, Lauren and Sam.


Would all who can contribute to the Jacob's


join please take food to the hall anytime between 5-30 and 7-p.m. on the Friday. Prior to this service, cleaning of the church will take place at 10 a.m. on Wednesday and as


many helpers with this task as possible would be welcome.


Police warning over canvassing couple


A COUPLE canvassing for work surfacing farm accesses and similar tracks are being sought by police. The couple particularly target isolated


properties and are said to employ a robust sales technique. “Some work has been done, but there have


been complaints about the quality and the price,” says Insp. Bob Ford, of Clitheroe police. “We would like to speak to this couple, who


give the address Leonard Street, London. They offer to lay down specialised, anti-skid surfaces, but we advise people to be careful about employing people who call at the door. It is important to check credentials and ref­ erences.” Anyone with information is asked to call


the police on 01200 443344 or Crimestoppers, 0800 555 111.


Motorcyclist injured


A SABDEN motorcyclist was injured in an accident at the junction of Wiswell Lane and the A671 yesterday morning. The rider, who was not named, was taken


to Blackburn Royal Infirmary, where he was treated for a suspected broken clavicle, his


condition having been described as “not seri­ ous” by police. His 1300cc machine was in collision with


and a van, and rush hour traffic was disrupt­ ed as the roads were closed between 8-40 a.m. and 10-20 a.m.
