10 Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, March 17th, 2005
Magical mystery day KNIGHTS, princesses, magicians and even a frog appeared at Bolton-by-Bowland CE Primary School to celebrate World Book Day. Pupils and staff came dressed as their
favourite characters from a traditional story, myth or legend, giving the school a real fairytale flavour. All morning the children worked in their
classes writing stories, play scripts and researching more information about their chosen character. At the end of the afternoon the children gathered together in the hall where they put on various performances for each other. Our picture shows the pupils getting into the spirit of World Book Day.

a resident at Manor House Residential Home, in Chatburn, celebrated the mile stone with her friends and Ribble Valley Mayor, Coun. Charles Warkrhan and his wife, Ruth. Born in 1915, Mrs Downer-Bottomley
was brought up a t an establishment known as Coplow View Institution (now Clitheroe Community Hospital), which at the time was run by her parents. I t was a home for poor people - some
old, some younger an.d others sick, an average of 150 patients and inmates. At one time, her mother took care of 40 chil dren and helped bring them up. The chil dren were educated, looked after and even tually some had key positions in the Rib ble Valley. Mrs Downer-Bottomley had an interest
in music when she was just old enough to reach the keys of her mother’s piano.
i , Since the tender age of three, she pro
gressed to the stage where she composed her own material and one of her classical piano pieces was played by the Cologne S3unphony Orchestra. On leaving school, she trained as a
teacher and studied at musical colleges in London, Manchester and Vienna. There after, she taught music at St Augustine’s RC High School, in Billington, when it opened in 1962. Along with music, she also enjoyed try
ing her hand a t patchwork and over the years many Women's Institutes through out the Ribble Valley had the pleasure of listening to her lectures on the subject and watching her demonstrations on how patchwork is done. Mrs Downer-Bottomley has been a resi
dent at the nursing home for the past two years and continues to play the piano and keep her friends entertained. To celebrate her 90th birthday, staff at
the home arranged a surprise party and said the birthday girl was over the moon with the celebrations. Mrs Downer-Bottomley is pictured
enjoying her big day with the Mayor and Mayoress. (B100305/1)
