A LOCAL landmark building is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year.


.


Centre in. Church Brow was laid in 1883. . It was built originally to house the


' The cornerstone of the St Mary’s


Sunday School which had started in 1816 in the Free Grammar School building in the churchyard. Accoring to documents stored at the


centre, the school was moved to the present CRGS premises in York Street in 1834. The Sunday School went with it


until 1851 when the hall at the bottom of Chruch Brow was built. As numbers grew, additional accommodation was needed and in 1883 the new building opened.


Century-old paperwork shows that


in 1888 the building was conveyed between Adam Sykes and Arthur Robinson to the vicar Edward Hughes Thomas for the sum of £800. And in 1912 the building was transfered from Arthur Ingham Robinson, the one time tenant at Clitheroe Castle, to the church wardens the Rev. Joseph Henry. ■Wrigley and Tom Garnett and trustees John Dewhurst; Samuel Green, Fred­ erick Robinson, Thomas Eastham, ■Walter Dewhurst Cunliffe, Stepohen. Clarke, Francis Veevers and Arthur Robinson Bleazard. Six years later part of the building


was used as a school in an agreement with the corporation - the ground floor becoming an annexe to the town council’s Church of England school to house its infant department.


■ Since that time the centre continued to exist as the parish church hall until


some four or five years ago when Trin­ ity Community Partnership became involved in its running. However, the partnership pulled out of the centre in March leaving its future in doubt. -. . But following a meeting - called to


see if the community was still interest­ ed in the continued operation of the centre - a new management committee was formed. .. ' . Made up of three representatives from the operatic and dramatic socie­ ty, two trustees, the church secretary and two members of the local commu­ nity, the trustees meet monthly to manage the hall and keep it open for community use. Richard Jackson is one of the mem­


bers of the management committee. He said: “When we started we had no money so the parish church council gave us some funds until we could gen­ erate some income. “Over the first four months we man­


aged to keep ourselves in the black and pay the PCC some of its money back.” He said that a five-year plan for the


centre has now been agreed to ensure it stays open for use by the communi­ ty.


ments will be carried out as and when funds are available, with immediate projects including the upgrading of toilets and some work on the entrance hall. A number of regular bookings have


already been secured by organisations including Scouts, Brownies, keep fit classes, salsa and church fellowship groups and dates up to October 2009 have already been booked. ■ The management committee plans


to hold four major events each year including the beer festival. Said Mr Jackson: “We would be,


pleased to hear from anyone wqho has any ideas about fund-raising events we could consider.” .

Clitheroe Advertisers Times, Thursday, October 2nd, 2008 9 walk will see iS memory live on


A FAMILY has organised a sponsored eight-mile walk to keep the memory alive of their precious baby daughter. Little Lola Kay was born on April 7th, 2008, at Burnley


■ General Hospital as an appar­ ently normal, healthy baby weighing 71b. 6oz. But a few days after taking her home, her parents, Charlotte Duck- •worth (26) and Steven Kay (30), of Chatburn, knew something wasn’t quite right. “She was a beautiful baby


with big blue eyes and dark hair,” said Charlotte. “But as days passed we became con­ cerned as she didn’t feed too well, made quiet ‘squeaky’ noises and appeared sleepy. She then developed slight


•jaundice and we took her-to the doctors. “The health visitor reas­


sured us that everything was fine and jaundice was com­ mon in newborns. ■ “Though we remained anx­


ious, we trusted the profes­ sionals’ judgement and per­ sistently tried to nurse Lola and give her good feeds. . “However, one morning I


heard Lola gasp for air - as though it was her last breath. “Steven gave her CPR and


she was rushed'to Royal Blackburn Hospital and later transferred to Pendlebury Children’s Hospital, in Man­ chester. , “ 'We were informed Lola


had contracted e-coli, menin­ gitis and septicaemia. She was


very poorly and died on April


■15th.” Charlotte, who is also the


mother of two-year-old Dar- cie, added: “We want to keep Lola’s memory alive. We can­ not bring her back, but we can honour the little time we spent with her by raising money and awareness for the Meningitis Trust. “So far we have been over­


whelmed by the support we have received from family and friends. We have set up a charity fund in memory of Lola and wish to keep it going. “Lola’s untimely death


remains fresh in our minds and taking part in a memorial walk is our way of dealing with the tragedy.” The walk takes place on


- Playing Fields. Anyone wishing to pledge


Saturday, October 18th. Par­ ticipants will .meet at Christ Church, in Chatburn at 9 a.m. and walk through Ribble Lane, Grindleton, West Brad­ ford, Waddington Road, Clitheroe, Low Moor,. Clitheroe, Ribble Lane, Brungerley Bridge, Ribble Way and finish at Chatburn


support is urged to log on to http://meningitis-trust.trih- utefunds.com and type in Lola Kay.. Alternatively, peo­ ple can call Charlotte on 07977238437. Charlotte, Steven and Dar-


cie are pictured in happier times with little Lola, (s)
