the old steel bridge ON June 15th we published a letter from Dr Graham Hall, a keen industrial historian from St Anne’s, who was appealing for information from our readers. On a vist to Clitheroe he had noticed the old

steel bridge over the Clitheroe to Chatburn Road and, deciding to investigate, discovered it had once carried a conveyor or miniature rail­ way linking the Bellman Park Quarry with a huge old stone lime kiln. He also learned that the old railway featured in several scenes in the 1960s film “Whistle Down the Wind”, shot in the countryside around Downham. Now Dr Hall has been good enough to let us


know what he has found out so far. He writes: “Thank you very much for publishing my let­


ter. I have had a good response - some with information and some very interested and ask­ ing what I had discovered. “Apparently the original cast iron bridge was


destroyed by a digger passing underneath and the replacement steel structure is there simply to reserve the right of way for possible future use. This explains why the level of the bridge does not match the sleepers. “I have been told the quarry, rail link, and kiln


all date to the 1840s, although someone else told me the rail link opened in 1898.1 have been sent an aerial photo from 1935 which shows the old kiln and several other buildings close to it (just the kiln side of the steel bridge). I was told that a lot of noise was made by these buildings and they may have been a crushing plant or a plaster


plant. Apparently the original of this aerial photo is held by Castle Cement. “I had a very interesting letter from a man


whose uncle was killed on the railway in 1934 or 1935. Apparently the trucks were pulled by a chain which went round a big wheel at each end. This poor man fell and got dragged round the wheel. I believe this was reported in the Clitheroe Advertiser, and that the inquest was also reported. The man who was killed was Charles Devaney. “The old kiln at the end of the rail link is enor­


mous, and apparently was the first use of lime­ stone in Clitheroe. I have been contacted by a man who has photos of the kiln. Apparently there used to be a wooden gantry from the end of the embankment to the top of the kiln. The lime was deposited directly into trucks on the main line railway.” Anyone else with information can contact:

Filthy antics are ruining


my daily walk to work I WOULD love to say what I nice walk I have to work, round Fairfield Drive, up Garnet Road and Mytton View, quite a nice walk. Unfortunately, I then get to the track, the


wooden railway bridge and the track on the other side and the road up to Woone Lane - at the moment this is an unpleasant walk. Why?


Because of ignorant, stupid or just plain obnox­ ious, owners of large dogs. They seem to think it is their right to let their large dog do its mess wherever it wants to (no matter how inconven­ ient the mess is placed) and then just walk away without a care. For everybody else who uses the track it


leaves a trail of dog muck you have to traverse. You cannot walk, you end up doing a kind of stilted jig to try avoid the large piles of muck. And if you are very lucky, you even get to step in it as well! I would like to say to all the caring dog own­


ers who pick up after their dogs a hearty three cheers and a big thank you, but to the few who judging by the size of the dog mess, own big dogs and don't care about anybody else other than themselves, try just for a novelty making everybody else’s lives more pleasant and pick up after your dog! By the way, don't do the other obnoxious


trick of picking up after your dog and then leaving the bag containing the mess behind. Pick up your dogs mess and take the mess home with you and put it in your bin. My second point is that I go for a walk at


lunchtime past “Coffin Lodge”, which the same as last year, is now a stinking mess covered in red algae and putrefying dead weed. What a first view of Clitheroe, this lodge must make. I think we should ask people who enter


Clitheroe down Whalley Road, what they think of this part of nice scenic Clitheroe? I tried to contact the Environment Agency


last year about this same problem, but to no joy. Would somebody like to own up to whose problem it is, or will something only be done


when someone or something dies in this mess?

Please support your


local radio station WITH the best will in the world programmes such as “Look Northwest”, “Granada Reports” and even Radio Lancashire, are only occasional­ ly reporting news which is of direct interest to us who live in the Ribble Valley. However, all this has changed with the coming of our own radio station Ribble Valley Radio, which you can lis­ ten to on 87.7 fm. This is the second time our own radio station


has gone on air and once again it is full of music to help the day along, but equally important is the news of our own area which concerns many of us. It has been noticeable that there has been a marked improvement in the quality of our pre­ senters who keep us abreast of not just news, but our views on valley matters, interviews - which recently have been most interesting - and valley “goings on”. If we want to keep this excellent and forward looking development we need to tune in or telephone in on 01200 427999 and encourage them by letting them know we are lis­ tening and supporting their endeavours. Well done the Ribble Valley Radio, the voice of the valley.
