5 100 years ago
THE superintendent of Clitheroe Fire Brigade and conductor of the Clitheroe Catholic Band, Mr Michael Duckett, died suddenly aged 58. 9 IT was announced this week that according
to the provision of the new Markets Acts, cattle fairs would no longer be permissible in the streets of the town. Lord Ribblesdale said that he had decided to
provide Gisburn with an auction mart to try to preserve the ancient tradition. • The final plans for the provision of
Clitheroe’s new free library were approved by Mr Andrew Carnegie. The cost of the construction was es t im ated a t £3,000 a t Mr Carnegie’s expense. 9 A tragedy occurred when Worston’s “Mock
Mayor and Corporation” held a meeting in a local hotel. The “Mayor”, 44-year-old Mr William Bulcock, was involved in a fight which resulted in his death. Subsequently, two men were charged with manslaughter before Clitheroe magistrates and they were acquitted.
for a hit children’s series. Granada Television is to film the next
series of “The Worst Witch” a t Clitheroe Castle, pictured right, from June 14th to 17th. Long before Harry Potter arrived at Hog-
wart's, children around the world were enchanted by Jill Murphy’s best-selling “Worst Witch” stories, and the television adaptations have brought the magic to life since 1998. The TV series chronicles the adventures of
hapless trainee witch Mildred Hubble, as she starts her studies at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches. Mildred is a walking and flying disaster
area. She can not ride her broomstick with out crashing, she is always getting her spells wrong and she is even scared of the dark! But, Mildred always has the best adven
tures as she tries to come to terms with the madness, mystery and age-old traditions of the Academy. During filming for the new series, the Cas
tle Museum will be closed and there will be restricted access to the Castle grounds. Ribble Valley Borough Council leisure and
tourism manager Chris Hughes said: “Once again this shows what a pleasant area Ribble Valley is and the filming of this popular tele
ITCHES will land at Clitheroe’s historic castle this month after TV producers
vision series will continue our high media pro file. We apologise for any inconvenience caused to the general public by the filming, although I believe there will be spectator areas for people to watch.” Granada Television location manager
Rebecca Rawcliffe described Clitheroe Castle as the best castle in the North West. She said: “I had been scouting for castles
throughout the North West for about four weeks and was actually on my way to look at Stonyhurst College. I was driving through Clitheroe and saw a tourist sign for the cas tle, so went along for a look. “I photographed various castles, but when
our designer saw Clitheroe he wanted to look himself. We viewed many castles around the North West, but Clitheroe definitely came out tops!” Ribble Valley is not new to film fame, for
Sir Richard Attenborough shot his hit movie “Whistle Down the Wind” in picturesque Downham, near Clitheroe. Downham is also the location for BBC
TV’s “Born and Bred,” now into its third series, while Stonyhurst College was the British location for the Hollywood comedy, “Three Men and a Baby.” Clitheroe Castle was built around 1186 by
Robert de Lacy to protect the administrative centre of his vast estates. I t is said to have been the smallest keep in
England, with rooms as small as 20 feet square.
LOOKING BACK 50 years ago
FILM cameras zoomed in Downham this week. Picturesque scenes were shot in the village and were to be made into an advertising film. The film unit brought with it costumes resembling those of the witches reputed to have lived in the Pendle area in a bid to add a touch of local colour to the film. • A £100,000 scheme for dealing with sewage
in four areas covered by Blackburn Rural District Council was reviewed a t an investigation held at the council offices. The scheme would provide for the treatment of all sewage for Billington and Copster Green and parts of Clayton-Ie-Dale and Wilpshire.
• In warm sunshine, hundreds of people lined
the footpaths to witness the annual town proces sion of the Mayor and Mayoress of Clitheroe - Coun. Clifford Chatbum and Mrs Chatbum. The couple were accompanied by members and offi cials of the Town Council and more than 200 pub lic representatives. The procession was headed by the Borough Band.
Green scheme awards show the Ribble Valley cares for environment
THREE environmentally friendly groups from the Ribble Valley have been recognised for their contribution
to the “green scene”. The Green Partnership Awards were pre
sented to Sabden Parish Council, Bolton- by-Bowland, Gisburn Forest and Sawley Parish Council, and the Ribble Valley Con servation Group. All three groups successfully completed
environmental improvement schemes with the help of funding from the Green Part nership. Mr Frank Goss, of Sabden Parish Coun
cil, Ian Fenton, of the Ribble Valley Con servation Group, and Richard Schofield, Gisburn Forest and Sawley parish lengths- man, accepted the certificates of achieve ment on behalf of their groups a t a special “Celebration of Achievement” event. The Green Partnership Awards is an ini
tiative run jointly by United Utilities, Lan cashire County Council and Ribble Valley Borough Council. I t provides professional advice and grant
assistance of up to £400 to help local com munity groups and individuals spruce up their local environment. Sabden Parish Council used its Green
Partnership grant to improve a walk along side Sabden Brook, in particular by plant
ing spring bulbs. Meanwhile, the Ribhle Valley Conserva
tion Group carried out improvement work * r * ®

FIVE thousand people in Clitheroe and district in the 35 to 65 age group were invited to have their blood pressure checked as part of a national screening programme. Men and women whose blood pressure were found to be higher than nor mal were to be asked to take part in a five-year
. trial of treatment at Clitheroe Health Centre. • Around £4,000 was to be spent on an official
car for the use of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor it was announced by Ribble Valley Council. The policy until the announcement was to hire a car for mayoral and other civic uses, but a breakdown of annual costs over a five-year period, revealed that it would be as economical for the council to buy a car. Civic leaders were instructed to select a suitable car and make their recommendations. 9 Bangers, beans and beefburgers helped hun

question of moving out because of housing costs, and a moving in by those of greater available income. The whole question of peo
ple “on the move OR moving on” is not new, but we are presently seeing a consider able migration of people across Europe, perhaps equiv alent to the period around the Second World War. That all said; I find myself
“on the move” and with it all the feelings of leaving behind and those of anticipation. There has been some choice and control of the situation. Unlike a football manager
(did he jump or was he pushed?) there has been time to think things through and a distinct feeling of not wanting to overstay one's welcome, to pass one's “sell-by” date. A churchyard, as we know
only too well, is full of indis
pensable people! The words of the Psalmist
have been very much to the fore: "I am only your guest for a little while", 39. verse 12(b). There lies a lesson for all throughout the whole of our lives. REV. ARTHUR SIDDALL,

John doesn’t let wheelchair stand in the way of charity
BEING wheelchair-hound did not stop a Wadding ton man from tackling a sponsored swim and rais ing more than £4,000 for a new disabled access at his local church. Mr John Herd (pic
tured) of Church Close, swam the equivalent of 900 yards in one hour and 22 minutes a t Pendle Wavelengths, in Nelson. Hs fe a t raised funds
towards a pioneering scheme to have ramps and disabled toilets installed at the village’s Methodist Church. Completing the chal
lenge is a big achievement for th e 65-year-old who has spent the p a s t nine years in a wheelchair. He said: “I swim quite
regularly and while I was completing the task I just felt great that I was help ing to raise money for a worthwhile cause.” Mr Herd’s contribution
of £4,000 will play a big part in reaching the grand total of £300,000 needed by the church. Anyone in te re s ted in
contributing to the fund should contact Mr Herd on 01200 423980. (G250504/7)
Talking their way to drama awards
THERE was success in the Black- bum Drama Festival for Stonyhurst College pupils Tim Lewis and Matthew Lambert who won three first places, two seconds and a third between them. Matthew (14), from Wiswell, and
Tim (15), of Hurst Green, were first and second respectively in the under- 16 poetry class. Matthew was also first in the under-16 prose and Lan cashire dialect sections, and runner- up in the sight-reading. The pair (pictured) came third in the under-16 duologue section, (s)

SEVEN employees from Althams, in Clitheroe, who donned their walking boots for charity, managed to raise £800 for Macmillan Cancer Relief. Sunny weather with a lovely breeze
certainly helped the kind-hearted fund-raisers complete the sponsored 10-mile walk in two hours and 45
minutes. Anyone who wishes to add to the
total is asked to pop into the shop in King Street, or call 01200 427136.
