A STROLL along the towpath of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal led to plenty of picture opportunities for members of the Ribbles- dale Camera Club. They walked from the Toll House on the


Weavers’ Triangle in Burnley looking at, and recording the remains of the town’s industrial


past. Later the group were met by members of the Weavers’ Triangle Trust, who opened the engine house of Old Mount Mill for a visit. The horizontal cross-compound steam engine


was believed to have been made by W. and J. Yates of Blackburn in 1886. I t originally ran 840 looms, but in later years this was reduced to 450, m th the mill’s electricity


supply also generated by the engine. In other club news, the Lancashire and


Cheshire Union’s Annual Print Exhibition is being shown at the World of Glass, St Helen’s until July 24th, with details of this year’s compe­ tition results in the exhibition catalogue. Ribblesdale member Stephen Robinson is to be congratulated on getting his monochrome print


“Paired Forms 1” in the section showing the area’s entry into the national PAGB competition. Jeff Cowling’s “Elk” is being exhibited in the Documentary Prints section, while Ken Geddes’ “Gletscherjet2” colour slide is also being exhibit­ ed and has been retained for the union’s print folio 2005. These results can be seen against competition


of up to 3,500 entries from more than 100 clubs in the area, from Barrow to Crewe and the Isle of Man to Staleybridge. Over­ all the Ribblesdale Club’s results were rea­ sonable, gaining 22nd place in the Mono­ chrome; 33rd in the Open colour prints and 11th in Natural History prints.

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, July 14th, 2005 11 Safety fears for car boot queues By Tracy Johnson


CONCERN over public safety has again been highlighted after complaints that a new Sunday market is causing queues and chaos along the A59. The market and car boot sale,


which is being held a t the Barrow Printworks, is leading to an increase in traffic along the notorious busy road. An influx of parked cars and pedes­ trians, who are using the “clearway”


Hot day for a superb walk


ON a very hot Sunday, Clitheroe Ramblers set off from Rathmell for Resting Stone, a little known pile of stones in a remote area, north of Whelp Stone Crag. They walked up Hesley Lane, and turned


right on to Hensley Hill and up to Scoutber Crag, then to Bull Hurst and Owl Shaw. I t was a hard slog up to Whelp Stone Crag

in the heat of the day. Lunch was taken here and members admired the panorama, look­ ing down at Stocks Reservoir and Gisburn Forest, and in the other direction the Three Peaks - Ingleborough, Pen-y-ghent and Whernside. After lunch, there was even more rough


ground to Resting Stone. On the way, they noted a new sign depicting the “Right to Roam”. Resting Stone offered even more superb


views of the Forest of Rowland and well beyond to Settle. The group then walked due east to a minor


road near Sandford Farm and followed this road back to Rathmell taking a diversion at the q uaintly named Lower Sheep AVash Farm to Upper Sheep Wash and almost arrived back at Scoutber Crag. They turned off to Black Leach and down to Hesley Hall Farm and returned into Rathmell.

to visit the car boot sale, is concern­ ing Clitheroe Police Inspector Bob Ford, who fears the health and safety element of the market is being jeop­ ardised. “The area is no t suitable or


designed tor this many cars or pedes­ trians,” said Insp. Ford. “I t has an inadequate entrance


which causes collisions and I feel the operators involved are seriously com­ promising the safety of pedestrians and motorists.” Even though organisers of car boot sales do not need planning permission


to set up, it is illegal to display signs advertising the event without autho­ rised consent from the local authori­ ty. Insp. Ford has warned operators that any signs put up in the area will be pulled down. “There are thousands of cars com­


ing into the market and we are pow­ erless to do anything about it,” said Insp. Ford. “There needs to be a change in leg­


islation to prevent the loophole which allows operators to trade without planning permission. Currently, oper­ ators are allowed to trade on one site


for the maximum of 12 weeks. There­ fore, I shall be keeping count.” A visit to the site was made by


Insp. Ford and environmental health officers from Ribble Valley Borough Council, a fte r complaints were received about the traffic. Eamon Roberts, senior environ­


mental health officer at Ribble Valley Borough Council, said: “We were there to check health and safety on site and we were generally satisfied with what we found. We did issue a number of informal warning letters, but no formal action was taken.”

THE Clitheroe Heart Machine Fund, serving Clitheroe, Whalley and villages of the Ribble and Hod- der Valleys has been given a £964.65 boost, thanks to a cheese and wine evening with a draw and tombola, held a t Well Court Retirement Apartments in June. The ticket sales on the evening


were organised by Mr and Mrs R. Coon, supported by apartments manager Christine Brockbank and volunteers from the residents. The lively evening was attended


by some 70 guests, including resi­ dents and their family and friends. The tombola and draw, which raised £373, was organised by Barclay’s


A-


employee Penny Coon and Wendy Talbot, who work at the Barclay Corporate Banking Centre, Preston. A further £218.65 was raised from


ticket sales. The £373 has been matched by Barclays under its staff matching funding scheme, raising an additional £373 towards the final total. In 2004 Barclays global com­ mitment to the community amount­ ed to £31.9m., which includes one percent of UK pre-tax profits. As one of the UK’s largest corporate community contributors, the bank aims to achieve real and lasting ben­ efits both for the community and Barclays, by supporting education, social inclusion, people with disabil­


ities, the arts and the environment. The Clitheroe Heart Machine


Fund was the inspiration of Dr Rex Harrison in 1979 and for the last 26 years has been providing an extra special service to Ribble and Hodder Valley residents. The private fund provides addi­


tional life-saving equipment for emergency situations and for suffer­ ers of heart attacks, strokes and asthma attacks. Mrs Underwood, Clitheroe Heart


Fund administrator, said: “The money will be put to good use in providing specialist treatment for the Ribble and Hodder Valley patients.”
