Village in mourning for a popular son
______by Faiza Afzaal
THE close-knit community of Whalley is mourning the loss of one of the village’s well-
respected residents. Mr Edward Snape, (known as
Eddie to his family and friends), pictured, died on Sunday aged 77. Bom in Clitheroe in 1930, he
was the second son of Mr and Mrs Francis and Mary Snape. His father was one of only two sur vivors of six Clitheroe brothers who served in the First World War and his grandfather laid the first wreath on the Clitheroe war memorial at its unveiling in 1923. A resident of Whalley for more than 70 years, Mr Snape was edu

LOCAL scenery will feature in the film at Clitheroe’s Stage & Screen at the St Mary’s Centre next week. I t is the big screen adaptation of
Blake Morrison’s memoir “And when did you last see your father”. I t chronicle’s Blake’s tempestuous
realtionship with his father, who was the local GP in Earby. From scholarly Blake’s fraught and
sometimes humiliating teenage years growing up with a charismatic, over bearing and adulterous father, through
Valley plans in the pipeline
A PLANNING application has been submitted to Ribble Valley Borough Council for a new conservatory, utili ty extension and internal alterations plus new vehicle access, garage now changed to utility. Comments on the proposal a t 90 Regent Street, Waddington, (number 0958) must be made to the council by November 9th. Other applications submitted- include: Clilheroc: Two-storey side exten
sion to existing property at 79 Kem- ple View (0961). Demolition of exist ing conservatory and replacement with a single-storey extension and new porch to front elevation a t 21 Dorset Drive (0907).
Langho: Front and rear dormer
windows to enable provision of four bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor at 96 Hillcrest Road (0959). Read: Proposed demolition of exist
ing uPVC conservatory and construc tion of replacement stone built lean- to garden room extension. Alterations to form additional bedroom space over existing garage and construction of a single-storey garden store at The Barn, Dudley Hill (0968). Slaidburn: Proposed demolition of
rear lean-to conservatory and con struction of replacement stone built garden room to provide improved dining kitchen space at 13 Townend (0967).
to the ultimate grief of watching him die, the story is a heart-rending and often humorous journey in which Blake revisits his past, comes to terms with some difficult home truths and finally learns to accept that one’s parents are not always accountable to their chil dren. Critically acclaimed, the film stars
Jim Broadbent, Colin Firth, Juliet Stevenson and Sarah Lancashire. It will screen next Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7-30 p.m.

cated at St Michael and St John’s RC Primary School, Clitheroe, and at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School for Boys. Apprenticed a t Foster, Yates
and Thom, in Blackburn, his engi neering career was interrupted by National Service in Malaya, where he served with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engi neers. Subsequently, qualifying as a teacher, Mr Snape taught for more than 20 years at Shadsworth High School, Blackburn, prior to taking early retirement in 1988. A skilled craftsman and talent
ed artist, apart from his family, Mr Snape’s main interests were history, football and the country side. A keen follower of Blackburn Rovers throughout his life, in his
younger days he played amateur league football for Whalley and for CRGS Old-Boys. A devout Roman Catholic and
a life-long parishioner of English Martyrs, Whalley, Mr Snape was a devoted husband to his wife, Betty, and a much-loved father and grandfather. Unfortunately, he faced ill-
health and mobility problems throughout his retirement, but steadfastly maintained his inter ests and independence to the end. He will be greatly missed by his
wife, three sons, two granddaugh ters and a wide circle of friends and relatives. A funeral service will take place
at 10 a.m. on Tuesday at the Eng lish Martyrs Church, Whalley. (s)

ALCOHOLIC burglar Stuart Taylor had to call 999 after cutting his arm breaking into a house and then not being able to
break out. Blackburn magistrates heard that 41-year-
old Taylor bled so profusely inside the house that he caused more than £7,500 worth of dam age to carpets and furniture. And the house owner, who was on holiday at
the time, said that when she returned two days later her home smelled like an abattoir. Taylor, of Edisford Road, Clitheroe, pleaded
guilty to burglary at a house in Chatbum Road and theft of a bottle of champagne, a bottle of

gin and a cheque book. He was committed on bail to Preston Crown Court for sentence. Mr Neil White (prosecuting) said head
teacher Madelaine Hardisty had left her home secure when she went on holiday. On Septem ber 21st police were called to the house where paramedics were already in attendance. Taylor was inside the house and was bleeding heavily. “He had cut himself smashing a double
glazed window and then couldn’t get out,” said Mr White. “When the police got to him he pointed to an open bottle of champagne and asked if he could finish it off before he went.” Mr White said there was blood all over the house, from the bedroom through to the living
room. “The owner says it has cost £7,500 to replace carpets, rugs and a suite which have been ruined by blood,” said Mr White. “She also says the invasion of her home will affect her for a long time. When she first entered the house she says it smelled like an abattoir and four weeks after the burglary she was still cleaning up blood, which disgusts her.” Miss Clare Knight (defending) said Taylor
claimed to have got in through an open window, but because of his intoxicated state had been unable to get out the same way and had smashed the glass. In the process he suffered a severe cut to his wrist. “He was looking for a towel or something to

Bonfire spectacular promised
ONE of the biggest bonfires in the area will light Clitheroe Castle on Saturday. The Castle grounds are again the
venue for the town’s annual bonfire and fireworks display again sponsored by
Castle Cement. The town’s service organisations will

ice and St John Ambulance will also be lending a hand. The bonfire will be lit at 6-30 p.m. by Mia Yates (six), the daugh ter of Mr Lee Yates, Castle Cement’s

problem for 15 years and was so drunk on the day of the offence he thought the house belonged to a friend. “Apart from that, in the sober light of day he
can’t really explain why this happened,” said Miss Knight. She said Taylor was currently in a rehabilitation unit near Lancaster. “He has been there for 10 days and is mak ing good progress,” she added.
