Custody officer in the dock


A CUSTODY officer employed by a private company to transport prisoners to and from court found himself in the dock for drink­


driving. Magistrates heard the Clitheroe defen­


dant had crashed his car into a parked vehi­ cle and was later found to be nearly three times the drink-drive limit. Paul Anthony Tierney (46) pleaded


guilty to driving with excess alcohol. He was fined £300 with £60 costs and banned from


driving for 28 months. The court heard police who were called to


St James Road, in Blackburn, in the early hours found a Renault Megane which had crashed into a parked BMW. Tierney failed a roadside breathalyser and a test at the sta­ tion showed a reading of 101 against the


legal limit of 35. Tierney, who was not represented, said


there was no excuse, but he did not inten­ tionally go out to drink and drive. He said he thought he would lose his job as a cus­


tody officer. Annual tradition A CLITHEROE tradition is being staged on


July 28th. The annual Clitheroe Area WI show will


feature h an d ic raf ts and produce from branches across the area. This year’s event is being held at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, in Chatburn Road. Doors will be open from 10 a.m. until 4-30 p.m., with the trophy presentation at 2 p.m.

- \ 5 0 % 1 \ \ Great gathering for school’s 75th


FORMER pupils, staff, governors and par­ ents gathered to mark a Clitheroe school’s


75th anniversary. A celebratory atmosphere was created at


Pendle Primary School as guests were invited to a special assembly and tour of the school


to mark the milestone. They also contributed their memories and


photographs of the school to create a memo­


rable display for visitors to see. Mr Bob Jones, an ex-headteacher of the


school, attended the assembly and was very interested in th e changes which had taken place since his retirement 26 years ago. During the day, talented Year 6 pupils took


centre stage and entertained the visitors by performing songs from their PGL holiday and also from their current production of “A Mid­ summer Night’s Dream”.


.


The special event was organised by Mrs Liz Waddington, the school’s history co-ordinator


and Miss Calvert and Mrs Wardle. The day also marked the replacement of


new school railings. The previous ones were taken away during the war effort and never


replaced. Our picture shows Mrs Waddington with


pupils performing during the special celebra­ tory assembly.

Naturalists enjoy a trip round the Dales


WITHIN sight of Ribble- head Viaduct, 17 members of Clitheroe Naturalists’ Society set off on a six-and- a-half mile circular walk. Beginning at Gearstones, a farm where sales of cattle grain and horses took place in the past, the party fol­ lowed the Dales Way to


Cam End. Crossing Gayle Beck, via


a footbridge, the p a r ty headed uphill on part of an


old Roman road which ran from Lancaster to Rich­ mond on to Cam End. From here the road branches right to join the Pennine Way. At this point there is a clear view of the Three Peaks, Inglebor- ough, Whernside and Pen- y-Ghent, with Pendle Hill in the distance. Following the Pennine


Way the p a th dropped down to Ling Gill Bridge, part of a packhorse route, and on to the wooded gorge of Lin Gill nature reserve. This is rich in flora, includ­ ing yellow petalled globe flower and baneberry.


Cam Beck, which is a


feeder of the River Ribble, flows through this gorge descending 100ft splashing over a series of waterfalls.. Walking on, the path


leaves the Pennine Way, over Old Ing Moor and joins the Ribble Way, head­ ing in the direction of the viaduct. Following paths across moorland, the track descended over meadows, past two derelict barns at Thorns and continued down to a footbridge over a beck where a junction of walls took the track uphill, back to Gearstones. There were 42 flowers


seen, including field scabi­ ous, marjoram, harebell and ragged robin. Also birds spotted were swal­ lows, swifts, housemartins, skylarks and redshanks. The next walk on July


28th will be to Grimwith Reservoir, Grassington, and is suitable for non­ walkers. To book contact Je an T ro t te r on 01200 428117.
