Tudor times on Friday with an amusing production entitled Greensleeves staged by the Onatti Theatre Group. The actors warned: “If we don't like the


look of your children we'll stick them in the stocks!” Meanwhile, Year 5 pupils were treated


to the play "Rags & Riches", which brought to life the Victorian period from the houses of the slums to the Houses of Parliament. The children thoroughly enjoyed both


plays, which complemented their history units in the school’s curriculum. Our picture shows Andrew Bardwell


and Seanna Hardaker-Jones from the Onatti Theatre Group entertaining pupils from St Michael and St John’s Primary School.(B020404/3)

David Lancaster, started from the centre of Mytholmroyd, up the northern side of the val­ ley and after approximately 400 feet the path veered west along the valley side towards Heb- den Bridge.

THIEVES stole a manual pallet loader from a layby on the A59 at Gisburn.. Offenders approached a van driver

A 42-YEAR-0LD man on a day out with his girlfriend stole items from a Clitheroe supermarket so they could have a picnic. Blackburn magistrates heard that


Barry Simpson, of Nuttall Street, Accrington, placed a jar of honey, a tin of tuna and other items down the sleeves of a jacket he was carrying over his arm. And he later admitted to police that he
