Strang Stee? It’s such a strange one to our town


by Duncan Smith


CONTROVERSY rumbled on this week over the re-naming of a Clitheroe town centre street. Street signs reading “Strang Stee”


had local folk scratching their heads when they appeared on the steep cob­ bled street linking Moor Lane with Lowergate and running down by the side of the United Reformed Church. As reported in last week’s Clitheroe


Advertiser and Times, the signs are part of a project by town centre regeneration group Clitheroe the Future, which aims to standardise street name signs throughout the cen­ tre. It will mean replacing around 50 signs with new and attractive ones.

This week you need to be practical and realistic and not rush to judge others; instead be patient, understanding and sympathetic if

A n y problems you’ve been having at home can be dealt with decisively this week because it’s easier to discuss difficulties and dilemmas and find ways to solve them. People are happy to help you out and do you a favour over the next few days so long as you keep your promises and remember to pay them back in times to come. Everything vrill go well if you work together instead of pulling in different directions.

It’S not that people are trying to pull the wool over yo ur eyes. It’s more a case of you misreading o r misunderstanding a situation and can’t gel a handle on the reality of what's happening. With so much confusion surrounding you, it would be b e sU o avoid making any major dedslons until the fog lifts.

This is an Intense time emotionally and to cap it all a loving relationships could take an unexpected turn. Th e problem Is you get so worried about being rejected, you lend to gel too possessive and hold on too tightly. If your loved ones feel smothered, they’ll back off. You can smooth over Issues or hassles b y sharing your feelings with those who are most


important to you. Maybe they simply don’t realise just how much you care.

Although it's Important to look after your body, you’re in


danger of becoming obsessive about your appearance. A reasonable amount of exercise is good for you, but too much could be as bad as too little. Th e same goes for your diet. It’s a good Idea to try to eat sensibly, but that doesn’t mean you should give up all those foods that you enjoy because you think they’re unhealthy. Moderation Is the key

This Is not a good week for dealing with complex cash concerns. You tend to gel extremely confused and find it hard to work out whether you’re getting a good deal or n o t Something that looks great on the surface could turn out to be a liability In the long run. So put off any decisions about money matters and concentrate on your social life Instead. It


looks like you could be soon receiving an unexpected and exciting Invitation!

Don’t do anything until you’re sure you have all the facts neatly set out before you. Once you’re sure you've got all your ducks In a row you can make your points and get support for your point of view. There's no w a y you’ll rush into making decisions — far from i t The reason you’re so effecUve, and can command respect, is that like any great


tactician you wait until the right moment before you make your move.

Th e re could be some major emotional challenges to face up to this week. All relationships are intense, and things that might not usually bother you suddenly seem to have mega Importance. Maybe yo u feel you aren't getting precisely what you need from a friend or loved one, but things haven't really changed much lately, just your view of them has. If you are straight with people, life will run much more smoothly

You want to focus on the important Issues that have major Implications for yo ur life. Yes, you’re an Idealist, but you’re also practical enough to make sure that you can follow through on chasing those Ideals. It helps that you’re able to put your point of view over effectively and can Inspire others to see things as you do. This is a week for action and


purposeful progress when you can change things for the better if you really work at it.

Your needs and desires are different to those of people around you, but not everyone can understand or appreciate that. People think you should be aiming for the same things as them and dreaming the same dreams as them. Now is the time to pul your own wants and wishes first and foremost. Don’t look for a quick fix, you will have to be focussed and


firm to make headway. Rome wasn’t built in a day so be patient.


while others will be refurbished. But the project threw up two town centre streets which appeared to have no for­ mal name - the one linking Moor Lane with Lowergate and another steep cobbled alley linking Church Street with York Street, next to the St Mary’s Centre. Extensive research at Clitheroe


Library resulted in them being named “Strang Stee” and “Paradise Lane”, as they were the only names that appeared on old maps of the town.


“Strang Stee” is old English for


“strong ladder” or “strong stairway”, which seems to fit with the steep climb up to the castle gates. However, several locals have put forward rival street names, the strongest contender being “Old Hall Brow”


Mr James Devaney wrote: “I feel I


must tell you as an Old Clitheronian that for 120 or more years. Old Hall Brow was the name. When I was a lad I walked down it to school and so did my father, who would be 130 if here today.” Commenting on the choice of


Strang Stee, Mr Devaney added: “I’ve never heard of such a claptrap name!” His sentiments were echoed by Mr


John Turner, whose father Richard was the last Mayor of the old Clitheroe Borough Council, from 1972 to 1974, and one-time champion shoe repairer of All England. The family’s shoe repair business


was started in 1910 by John’s grand­ father in Moor Lane, at the foot of the controversial street. According to

I ^ O N A L READINGS^ CAU:|;i


John, all three generations of his fam­ ily knew it as Old Hall Brow and he dismissed “Strang Stee” as a load of old cobblers! As reported last week, another


long-time Clitheroe resident said the alley was known coloquially as “Howard’s Entry”, since it was the side entrance to Howard’s Butchers, now the Age Concern’shop in Moor Lane. Another reader said she and her family had always known it simply as “The Ginnel”. The official signing of “Paradise


Lane” seems to be less controversial, perhaps because its name is more con­ ventional. Local historian Bob Jones furnished us with extensive research, dating the name from at least 1881, when it appeared in print in the St Mary’s Church Magazine.


Mr Jones added that in early 'Vic­


torian times the lane was enclosed on either side by extensive gardens, as shown on the first Ordnance Survey map of Clitheroe in the 1840s. It was not uncommon for routes through such attractive parts of otherwise grimy mill towns to be called “Par­ adise Lane”, or “Paradise Street”, and several examples can be found in other Lancashire towns. Finally, reader Mrs Jean Hartley,


of Chatburn Road, came up with another candidate for official naming - the lane running alongside her bun­ galow, linking Chatburn Road with Tower Hill. Although it has no street sign, Mrs Hartley said it was always called Cow Lane, because it was the route for the cows going to be milked at Tower Hill Farm.


Garden fall led to death


A RETIRED driver who suffered ar fractured hip developed bronchopneu­ monia and died.


An inquest heard that 84-year-old


Thomas Towers 'Winterbottom was not strong enough to undergo an oper­ ation.


Consultant physician Dr David


Grimes said he felt surgery would have turned a peaceful and natural death into a “medical death”, with all the unpleasantness that went with it. “I think we gave Mr ’Winterbottom


the peaceful, dignified death that I hope I get if I am lucky enough to live to 84,” said Dr Grimes The inquest heard that Mr Winter-


bottom suffered from osteoporosis. He fell in the garden of his home in Peel Park Avenue, Clitheroe. But it was not possible to say


whether the softening of the bones caused the fracture which led to the fall, or whether the fall caused the frac­ ture.


The medical cause of death was


given as bronchopneumonia due to immobility following a fractured hip. Deputy coroner Carolyn Singleton


recorded an open verdict, saying she could not be sure whether he fell and broke his hip or broke his hip and fell,


which would have been a natural cause of death.


Nursery sale for charity


NEARLY new nursery goods will be on sale in Clitheroe next weekend. Families are being


asked to clear out their cupboards and turn unwanted items into cash to support the National Childbirth Trust. The NCT’s East Lan­


cashire branch will hold a sale on Saturday, October 7th, at the St Mary’s Cen­ tre, Church Brow, from 10-30 a.m. until noon. Items for sale usually

Sellers will receive 70% Waggon lads are City slickers A CLITHEROE football t©am has


netted a new strip thanks to a local sponsor. ■Waggon EC’s players are now


resplendent in their Manchester City blue shirts and navy shorts thanks to David Ainsworth, of Thorogoods, in Waterloo. Waggon FC,based at the Waggon


and Horses, in Pimlico Road,were approached by Mr Ainsworth after he


won the strip. His Thorogoods shop, which is part of a chain with more than 300 franchised shops, had the best sales


for an energy drink product from Lucozade. After finding out he had won the kit,


Mr Ainsworth approached the Waggon team and offered it to them.

of the goods’ price, with 30% going to the NCT to help train local volunteers. Registered sellers can take their goods along on the morning and collect their proceeds later. Event organiser Hazel


Dewhurst said: “The October sale traditionally is our biggest. “Parents see it as a good


chance to empty their toy cupboards before Christ­ mas and pick up a few quality gifts at a bargain price.”
