Borough was self sufficient in the’SOs


WHO WM the most important man in Clitheroe in the 1930s? The really top man? The man whp got things done? It was the highly-qualified borough sur­ veyor, Fred W. Goodman A.M. Inst. C. E. and M. Inst. M. & C Y.E. Guest speaker Gordon Taylor gave a


fascinating talk to Clitheroe Civic Soci­ ety, based on the Borough Surveyor’s Annual reports 1934-37. Every photo of


.work done at that time was matched by a picture of the same place today. Clitheroe corporation had gangs of


every trade needed to do any job - plumbers for gas and water, joiners, bricklayers, stonemasons, plasterers.


electricians, pipelayers, labourers. With such resources in the Borough Surveyor’s departnient, it meant that Clitheroe was a self-sufficient borough.


,


In the 1930s,. thousands of yards of. roads and park paths were tarsprayed,


• new roads adopted and resurfaced and in 1937 the new sewage works was finished. It had taken two winters and a sum­


mer - all wet (so nothing new in 2008 then) - and all the work of mo-ving 1,500 tons of earth was done by hand by 128 men. Total wages were £3,800 for the whole job! Most of the vehicles had solid tyres, including the fire engine (until 1933),


which was called out to five fires in 1935.1


, . New allotments, street trees, a tempo-1 raiy bandstand in Brungerley Park, the Chatburn Road roundabout with its “ guardian angels” (bollards), electric lights in Castle House - what a range of

services Fred Goodman’s department | provided. . - The town certainly looked well cared |


for and was gro'wing rapidly. Mr Taylor’s enthusiasm in sharing all I


this little-known information meant his audieiice could appreciate an era'of Clitheroe’s development from an unusu-1 . al perspective.

• Savers across Lancashire


;have hundreds of thousands of 'pounds in forgotten bank ; accounts which are at risk of ' being seized by the Govern- /ment. : :• Halifax Bank o f Scotland i (HBOS) has revealed that it is holding £258,861 in dormant accounts across the region. . One account alone in the - Ribble Valley has a forgotten


£43,230 sitting in it, while across the whole of Ribble Val­ ley there are 143 dormant accounts, with- deposits totalling £66,004. If, as seems likely, the HBOS


c a o oon


figures are repeated across all the high street banks, an esti­ mated £1.2m. is piled up in dormant accounts across the region. An account is regarded as


“dormant” when the bank or building society has had no contact -with the account hold­ er for 15 years. In some cases the money will


have belonged to a saver who has died, but whose relatives are unaware of the account's


existence. Others may have simply taken accounts out years ago and forgotten about them. Legislation currently going

that 1,515 bank accounts across the Lancashire region have been dormant fo r 15 years, with deposits totalling £258,861. Because HBOS holds about


£1 in every £5 of the nation's savings, the figure in all banks is estimated to be some £1,294,305. , Tony Wilcox, head of sav­


ings at/Halifax, said: “We would urge customers to take note that money is still lying dormant and to come forward to check if .they have dormant funds. “Some customers may not even realise their accounts are

classed as dormant, hey may even have left the money there untouched as a nest egg.


“Any account that has not had any activity on it in the


. past 15 years is considered dor­ mant and the addition of interest does not count as activity.” Chorley MP Lindsay Hoyle


wants banks to launch a final­ advertising campaign to remind people about- the deposits. If you think you or a mem­


ber of your family might have a dormant account, contact the'relevant bank or building society, or for more details see: www.mylostaccount.org.uk ..


Slideshow


.A SLIDESHOW qf photo­ graphs taken almost 100 years ago was shown at a meeting of the Clitheroe and District Masonic Fel­ lowship.


. Members of the Fellow­


ship were treated to a pres­ entation of pictures taken by the Shaw Brothers of Blackburn, as they trav­ elled by train and bicycles through the Yorkshire Dales in 1911 to 1913. The pictures were presented by Mr Jim Halsall and Mr Alan Parkin. The next meeting ■will be the ACM, which will held at West Bradford Village Hall on Monday, November 10th at 2-30 p.m.
