Fascinating day out for naturalists
GRASSINGTON was the venue for Clitheroe Natural ists. T h ir ty two members
walked to the River 'Wharfe from the car park to observe the weir. Continuing on a well-trod
den path, many birds were encountered including wag tails, dippers, sandmartins and oystercatchers. Also mal lards with newly-hatched ducklings and a pair of attractive mandarin ducks were seen. The party went into Grass
Wood, an important nature reserve with a variety of plants, especially lily-of-the- valley. The wood is also of archeological importance with the remains of a Brigan- tium fort and an iron age set tlement. The walk continued
through fields full of spring flowers, hedge blossom and new lambs. A to ta l of 44 species of
flowers were counted, includ ing early purple orchid, wood speedwell, false oxslip, water avern, bluebells and cowslips. Tree creepers, willow war blers and swalls and swifts were among the 22 birds seen. The walk ended in Grass-
ington and Mr Frank Mason thanked the leaders. The next walk is on May
21st to Lofthouse/How Stean Gorge. Booking is essential. For details ring 01200 428117.

A CLITHEROE woman with a fine sense of humour has celebrated her
100th birthday. Mrs Annie Birtle (nee Walsh), who is a
resident at the Clitheroe Care Home, in Eshton Terrace, celebrated reaching three figures with her family, staff at the home and former Ribble 'Valley Mayor, Coun. Charles Warkman and his wife, ■
Ruth. Born in Nelson on May 6th, 1905, Mrs
W i m i t ' m
Birtle trained as a milliner until her mother died when she was required to look after the home. She married Mr Cyril Birtle (also from
Nelson) in 1932 and the couple later took over a newsagents and tobacconist in Manchester where they lived during the war years. A few years later, they moved to
Birkenhead, where Mrs Birtle ran a fish and chip shop while her husband worked in an office for a shipping company across the Mersey in Liverpool. On retirement, the duo moved to Wal
lasey, which they absolutely loved and enjoyed embarking on walks by the sea. Mr and Mrs Birtle enjoyed setting off in their car either for days out into Wales or for holidays down to the south coast and up into Scotland and also returning to
. the Nelson area to visit relatives. In 1992, the couple celebrated their
'ciitherbb422V24 (EditVfiaij,4M (Advertising)r Burnley'422331 (Classified) for a popular Valley resident
diamond wedding anniversary. However, two years later Mr Birtle died at the age of 88. Prior to his death, the couple had been living in sheltered accommodation in Birkenhead. As the couple had no children and Mrs
B ir t le ’s only relative, Valerie (great niece) and also Mr Birtle’s niece (Bar bara Spencer) lived in Lancashire, Mrs Birtle came to Greenside Care Home, in Chatburn, where she remained until it closed in October 2003. After one month a t a home in Accring
ton, a place became available tor her at Roefield Nursing Home where she was cared for until July last year when it closed. She has been residing at the Clitheroe Care Home since then. The milestone celebrations continued
until over the weekend when Mrs Birtle and family and friends made their way to the Calf’s Head, in Worston, for a cele- brat9ry lunch. As well as lots of cards and flowers
from family and friends, Mrs Birtle, whose main interests have been sewing and reading, received a congratulatory card from the Queen and a box of choco lates from Cadburys - who were also cele brating the Dairy Milk brand’s 100th anniversary. Coun. and Mrs Warkman are pictured
with Mrs Birtle celebrating the mile stone.
