Ciitheroe 42232V(Edit6riai),4:^323lAdvertisin^^^^^^ Show success for young Richard


SHEPHERDING skills paid dividends for a young Wiswell farmer at Trawden Show on Sunday. Richard Lancaster, of Cold Coates


Farm, gained third place in the under- 10s' junior shepherd group. Glorious sunshine drew crowds by the


thousand to this year’s show. The day was a major success, and there was enough of a gentle breeze to stop the whole affair becoming too hot. The show sticks very much to the agri­


cultural tradition. There were classes for poultry, horses, cattle, sheep and dogs.


Other attractions included vintage cars, pets, horticulture and handicraft, cage birds, and many more. There was a fun fair, trade and charity stalls and refresh­


ments. Pictured is Richard during Sunday's


show. (T090804/2C)

Ribchester walk for the Ramblers


RIBCHESTER was the starting point for Ciitheroe Ramblers' latest Tuesday walk. The 25 members who took part first fol­ lowed the very pleasant Ribble Way west­


wards from the Roman Museum to Hother- saUHall. They then turned away from the river


p d climbed gently towards Ox Hey, paus-' ing to admire the lovely view across the river towards Mellor, still visible despite the ■ heat haze.


They then walked along field paths to


Ward Green Lane and down through Dil- worth Bottoms. There, the leader, John Eamshaw, pointed out the cottage at the side of Cowley Beck which was a com mill in medieval times. He explained that, in the late 18th Cen­


tury, a spinning mill and smithy had been built nearby to use the head of water instead and the corn mill had then been converted into cottages. More cottages, now completely demolished, were built nearby for the workers at this mill and a number of others along the beck. After lunch, the walkers followed field


paths from Dilworth Bottoms to Green- moor Lane and then past Cage Mill - origi­ nally one of the bobbin mills using the power generated by Cowley Beck - to Buckley Hall and Buckley Hall Wood. Here they paused to look at the site of an old quarry which had supplied sandstone roofing flags and beehive stones locally. Entry to the quarry is now forbidden, as it contains a dangerous mine shaft dug in a vain attempt to find coal. From here it was downhill all the way to


the interesting ancient Stydd Church,: then past the almshouses and back to the carpark in Ribchester. Everyone felt that, despite the high tem­


perature and humidity, it had been an enjoyable walk through the lovely Ribble Valley countryside with points of local his­ torical interest along the way.

She had made most of the bears herself and, as well as enjoy­ ing humorous stories about the bears on display, members also learned that bears are used exten­ sively to help police, social workers and hospitals deal with children’s problems. Bears provide the security and comfort a child needs in trou­ bled times. Bears are also used as very effective fund-raisers and the bear constel­ lations have been used by travellers for centuries. There is also a thriving antiques market for the collectors’ items. Mrs Doreen Kendall expressed thanks to Mrs Hayward.
