whose^mother'Katy Rose died of the disease on April 1st aged jusU 38, will undertake a five kilometre sponsored walk on Mother’s Day. “I miss my mummy more than


anything in the world and I’d like to raise this money for Breast Cancer Care so it can help someone else’s family and mummy,” the Brookside Primaiy School pupil explained. Bethany’s fund-raising challenge


is being supported by local candle maker Cheiyl Hook, who owns Melt at Backridge Farm, Twitter Lane,


Waddington. Melt has produced a special candle in memory of Katy, which will be sold in its Backridge Farm shop and hopefully in other retail outlets in Clitheroe. .. ' The “Candle for Katy”, fund-

Swan and Royal Hotel, in Castle Street, Clitheroe was destroyed in a fierce blaze. The fire tore through the 18th cen­
