eastlancsnews.co.uk — Magistrates should
be held responsible SEVERAL days after reading last week’s article “Vandal youth spared ASBO” I am still struggling to under stand this magistrate’s unbelievable decision. If ever there was a case to make an
example of, then this was it. Wrecking cemetery benches, thousands of pounds damage to cars, smashing the parish church windows etc etc. Just what do these low lifes have to do before they are made culpable? Thir ty-eight reported incidents obviously isn’t enough. This was a golden opportunity to
make an example of an individual who, like so many others, has absolutely no respect for people or their property. Shame on the parents who wouldn’t
want their poor love named and iden tifiable, pity the rest of Clitheroe’s townsfolk who have to suffer his pre-9 p.m. curfew behaviour. I believe the magistrate(s) involved
should be named and held personally responsible for all future incidents. No doubt though when this does
happen, and it will, instead of a 12- month boot camp he’ll be rewarded with a fortnight in the Canaries!
NAME AND ADDRESS SUPPLIED
• LAST week we asked readers: “Were the magistrates right in not placing an ASBO on the Clitheroe Ki-r ear-old?” The results of our Internet vote were:
8.5% said no, they were not right and 15% said they were.
Another view on
Woone Lane tunnel I HAVE been interested in the corre spondence on the tunnel beneath the joiner’s shop in Woone Lane and the old tales about secret tunnels surfac ing again. I investigated this tunnel some
years back with a view of publication in the journal "Subterrania" and am quite sure that it is an old flue running from a boiler in Salford Bridge Mill to a chimney in Woone Lane. It could be accessed from the garden of one of the cottages below Woone Lane and I explored it in both directions. The tunnel was probably contem-
pory with the first mill, which was built in the early 1800s. As far as I am aware, the mill was steam-driven from the outset, its site on the brook being for the various industrial use s of water, not for a water wheel. After running under the cottage, there is a right angle left turn to run under the pavement, heading directly towards the mill. There is evidence of inspec tion slots in the roof, which would be covered with paving stones. On reach ing Moor Lane, the tunnel Is infilled with hardcore, partly consisting of Victorian bricks. In the Woone Lane direction, the
tunnel reaches a chimney base. There is, or was, a sliding plate across the throat of the chimney to adjust the draft. The chimney became disused at some time,'probably when a replace ment boiler house and chimney was built on site. The Woone Lane chim
ney was taken down at some stage and the joiner’s shop built, using the remains of the chimney as a base. I photographed and measured both
lengths and sections of the tunnel, which is still covered in soot. I should comment that I looked
carefully, but could not see, any evi dence of an extension in the Castle direction. However, this use by the mill does not eliminate the chance of the flue making partial use of some earlier tunnel. That would be a romantic idea! I would, however, like the opportunity to look and record the evidence again, before it is destroyed.

This school visit
was disappointing A FRIEND and I recently had the misfortune to visit Pendle Primary School, Clitheroe, as our children are due to start school in September 2007. We had looked at other primary
schools in Clitheroe and wanted to see what Pendle Primary School had to offer our children. On arriving at the school, we were
unable to open the gates which we assumed were locked. As i t was playtime there was a
teacher in the yard. The teacher com pletely ignored us and we had to climb over the wall to gain access to the school. Again the teacher ignored us and didn’t challenge us or ask if we needed assistance. After ringing the front door bell, the
school secretary admitted us to the school. We explained why we were there and asked if we could be shown around the school. The secretary was quite abrupt with us and said we would need appointments which were only on Friday mornings or after school. We said we were willing to make an appointment, but it would mean taking our children. The school secretary was not happy
with this and said that bringing the children to the school could be disrup tive. We asked if it was possible to have an afternoon appointment as our children would then be at pre-school, but the answer was empatically “no” - appointments were Friday mornings only. There was no compromise offered. The secretary then went into the
headteacher’s office and, as we were close by, we could hear the ensuing conversation from which we assumed she did not to want to speak to us. As parents we are no longer looking
at Pendle Primary as a possible school for our children. We were absolutely disgusted by the treatment. We felt undervalued and that our children did not matter to them. We have been to Brookside Prima
ry School twice since. We visited with out an appointment, although we said that we were willing to make an appointment if it was necessary. At Brookside we were encouraged
to take the children with us. After all, they will he the ones attending the school. On both occasions we encoun tered a welcoming atmosphere and the head teacher spent time with us. I work in a caring profession and
undertake regular customer care training. Does Pendle Primary not have a Customer Care Policy?

® Wc asked llic headlcachcr of Pendlc Primary School (o comment following receipt of the above letter. Below are her comments: I have just read the letter and spo
ken with the school bursar regarding the letter received by you in connec tion with school. It is of some concern to me as all the parents we show round school are very happy that they are treated with the utmost courtesy; all their questions answered and in almost all cases the parents thank us very sincerely for the time spent Mth them. Parents of prospective pupils usual
ly ring and make an appointment to look round school and are given two options: the first is a tour of school on a Friday morning when the children are in class and the school is going about its normal business and the sec ond is an evening tour after school. Parents usually appreciate that every one is timetabled during niost of the school day and are quite willing to come on a Friday morning when time is set aside especially for them. It appears that the two parents con
cerned had not contacted the school in the way most parents do, that is, by making an appointment by telephone. The parents concerned accessed the school by “climbing over a wall”. They then expected that a member of staff would be available to show them around immediately which is not an option always available. Gates are always closed at play
times but can be opened to access the school.
sar and explained that they would like to look round school, the bursar fol lowed usual procedure and invited the parents to make an appointment. I am sorry that the parents feel that
they have been treated inappropriate ly, but I feel every opportunity was made available to the parents to -visit Pendle School and understand the ethos which makes us such a well- respected school in the community.

wearisome bunting AS we approach the run-up to Christ mas can the lacklustre bunting in Clitheroe be removed and serious con sideration be given as to why it is put up in the first place? The whole of the Clitheroe Town
Centre is a Conservation Area where even the colour of your property is subject to approval. Can the borough and town councils
have an input to the question of bunting and its appropriateness. Last year we had just the one fes
tive event meriting bunting and that was the Cycle Grand Prix in August - yet we have bunting from May t i l l . . . well it is looking like November or possibly a replacement for the Christ mas lights and into the New Year.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Should we keep Clitheroe’s town centre bunting?

the Valley Mayor I WOULD like to take this opportu nity to ask Ribble Valley residents to give generously to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. At a time when the prospect of
peace in this world seems very small and yet again our servicemen and women are involved in various con flicts, we must not forget those who have made sacrifices in the past and to who we owe our freedom. The Poppy Appeal is particularly
close to my heart, as my sister recent ly travelled to France to commemo rate the 90th anniversary of the Bat tle of the Somme, where she laid a wreath to remember local servicemen who fell during the First World War. Services of remembrance will be
held throughout Ribble Valley and poppies will be available in the Coun cil Offices in Church Walk, Clitheroe. I am asking the good residents of
Ribble Valley to kindly support the Poppy Appeal.
COUN. PETER AINSWORTH, Mayor of Ribbic Valley
Once the parents had seen the bur Historian supplies
extra information THERE was an almost Instant response following publication of the poem, “Clitheroe,” by the Rev. Thomas Wilson.
Mr Gordon Hill, of Bowdon Books,
told us that local historian John Lam bert visited the shop on the morning the Advertiser and Times came out, with a copy of the book, dated 1857, in which the poem appeared. “It was indeed published in a
Chatham's Society volume, being ‘Miscellanies, being a selection from the poeins and correspondence of The Rev. Thomas Wilson, BD, with mem oirs of his life’ by the Rev F. F. Raines. It seems I was on the right track, but not far enough along it,” he said. Thomas Wilson lived from 1747 to
1813. He was once the imeumbent of Clitheroe and Downham, and Master of Clitheroe Grammar School, a post he successfully obtained after three years as Headmaster of the Grammar School at Slaidburn. Readers may be amused to know of how he got the job I quote from the text: At Slaidburn, he was an early riser, and still a hard student, reading much and retaining what he read. After having been there three years as Curate and Schoolmas ter, he became a candidate for the Mastership of Clitheroe Grammar School, and notwithstanding his want of an university education, stated in his application to the Governors, that 'To dwell upon his own qualifications
would no less wound his own sensibili ty than that of others' and yet, he ventured to add, that 'In point of learning he declined no te s t , but referred himself without anxiety to the scrutiny of the examiners'. Mr Wilson had not arrogantly miscalcu lated his own attainments, nor were they unappreciated by others. He was elected after a stringent and protract ed examination.' “I wonder what those currently
responsible for appointing headmas ters to the grammar school would think of such an application process these days!” adds Mr Hill.
Could you help find lo 5-lost cousin?
ng-
A SOUTHPORT woman is appealing for information leading to the where abouts of her long-lost cousin. Mrs Dorothy Porter (nee Carter) is
anxious to find Mr Alan Andrews, who came to live in Clitheroe from the Manchester area approximately 30 years ago. It is believed that Mr Andrews is
about 70 years old and used to run a garage in the Ribble Valley at one time.
Anyone with information is asked
to contact Mrs Porter on 01704 542179.
We’re backing post
office campaign AGE CONCERN LANCASHIRE fully supports the recent petition to save rural post offices. This is an issue which particularly
affects older people as they are the heaviest users of these services. Age Concern Lancashire has been
gathering information from local older people on th e ir use of rural post offices. They tell us that rural post offices provide important access to essential services such as getting cash, paying bills, and information. Clo sures will force them to make addi tional journeys, which is especially difficult as many older people are reliant on patchy public transport or have limited mobility. Rural p o s t o ff ices also play an
important social and community role. Older people tell us that going to the post office helps to give them a sense of purpose and structure to the week. It is a focal point for social contact and for exchanging information, pro viding much more than access to financial and post office services. We strongly recommend that Gov
ernment decides to continue with the current rural subsidy to post offices. These services represent a lifeline to older people and simply cannot be replaced. If you would like to add your voice
to this campaign, there is a question naire available from any of our offices or by telephone on 01257 233200. This will help us gather more evidence of how older people benefit from rural post offices. We would also strongly advise read
ers concerned about this issue to write to their local MP — before it is too late!
