CHAMPAGNE corks popped at the Assheton Arms pub to cele brate 20 years' service by Mr and Mrs David and Wendy Busby. Two decades ago, on April 19th,
the couple took over the classic coun try pub in the picturesque village of Downham. They got more than they expected
when, 18 years later, BBC bosses con tacted them asking if they could use the public house to film the hit drama series “Born and Bred”, star ring former Eastenders’ actor Michael French. Better known in the series as “The

our customers and especially with the fact that the pub is featured on television. “The series has generated a lot of
interest in the village and having the cast and crew here is always a delight,” said the father-of-two. The couple shared the heartache of
the foot and mouth crisis with their customers. However, with that tragedy behind
them, they have built an excellent reputation for fine food.
Seafood is served on a daily basis
with oysters, lobster and monkfish as the most popular choices. Customers can choose from a vari
ety of 18 wines, all of which are available by the glass and certainly “pull in the punters!” But that is not the end to the cou

singers from the Blackburn, Hyndburn and Ribble Valley have been giving con certs around the area for many years, and all in the aid of various charities. Recently they performed on the Fylde
coast, where they were well received and gained a very good response. Their concerts have mainly been in
the local areas and with the next one to be held in Blackburn at the end of July, they require extra voices to augment the group. To be able to join, singers must have
had experience of choir singing and ide ally should be able to read music, although perfect sight-reading is not required, but you should be able to understand a printed score. As members of the National Federa
tion of Music Societies, the “singers” always demand a high standard of them selves. Rehearsals are in Wilpshire on Wednesday evenings. If anyone would like to go along to a
rehearsal and see if they enjoy the type of mixed music that “singers” perform. They can obtain further details from the chairman Mr Fred Arkwright on 01254- 240818,or e-mail:

A lifetime of service devoted to the people of the Ribble Valley
by Duncan Smith
A CLITHEROE woman who gave a lifetime’s service to the town she
loved has died at the age of 83. Mrs Elizabeth Hall was a former Mayoress of Clitheroe and very proba bly its first female police officer. During the war she was keen to play
her part and signed on to become Clitheroe’s first auxiliary policewoman. She also served for many years as a
magistrate, taking a particular interest in cases involving young people - always keen to set them back “on the rails”. Bom in 1920 in Turner Street, she was
the daughter of Mr and Mrs Mark and Anne French and sister to Nellie. She attended St James’ Primary School and Ribblesdale School, where academic achievement led to a job at the Clitheroe Electricity Company. It was there that she met her future
husband, John (known as Jack) Hall, and the couple were married at St James’
Thespians takes to the boards
MEMBERS of Trinity Drama group will be presenting their lat est show this weekend in Trinity Methodist ' Church Hall, Clitheroe. The play is called "Clinging to
I
the Rock" and has been penned by local minister the Rev. Richard Atkinson. The piece focuses on something
of the experience of Simon Peter, one of the disciples of Jesus. It charts events in which an ordi nary fisherman is transformed into the first leader of the Chris tian Church. As well as these events in Peter's life, the happen ings are also seen from a wholly different perspective: enter Miri am, the mother-in-law of Peter, a woman so gruesome th a t rumours suggest she taught the
Romans a thing or two about interrogation. The story proceeds with
humour and pathos, the light is mixed with the poignant and all delivered with the traditional fer vour of the Trinity Drama
group. Performances are tomorrow,
May 7th and Saturday at 7-30 p.m. with a performance on Sun day at 6 p.m. All proceeds from the produc
tion are being donated to a Clitheroe Methodist Circuit pro ject to pay for the training of a minister for the Methodist Church in Ke.nya. Tickets
can.be booked in
advance on 01200 424328 or 423229 or can be bought at the door.

Church in 1939. The outbreak of war meant that many of the town’s regular police officers were called up to the armed forces and Mrs Hall was quick to answer the call for volunteers to take their place, becoming “Woman Auxiliary Police Constable No. 1.” The couple had two children, John
and Susan, and from 1964 to 1966 Mrs Hall served as Mayoress of her home town when her husband, by then a local councillor, was elected Mayor. The couple represented their town at
countless civic occasions and always proved worthy ambassadors. For Mrs Hall, the role was not entirely
unfamiliar as her own parents were pre viously Mayor and Mayoress of Clitheroe. Throughout her life Mrs Hall took an
abiding interest in people and their well being and it was this that prompted her to become a magistrate, later serving as chairman of the bench. She saw the role not as doling out punishment to wrong doers, but as helping people through dif
ficult times and,hopefully, helping them to regain their place in society. Past pupils at Edisford County Pri
mary School will remember Mrs Hall as the indispensable school secretary, but she also served the town through involve ment with many other local groups and organisations. These included the Soroptimists, the Townswomen’s Guild and Clitheroe
Flower Club. In later years, Mrs Hall loved to spend
time with her five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Her husband, who had risen to become headmaster at St Peter and St Paul’s Junior School, died in 1992. Always friendly and outgoing, Mrs
Hall was deeply rooted in the communi ty where she will be greatly missed. Mrs Hall died after a brief illness in
Clitheroe Hospital, on April 27th. Her funeral service was due to be held yester day at St James’ Church, followed by cremation at Accrington.
