JAMES Brown was brought before the borough police court, charged with “ped­ dling without a certificate”. PC Pope stated that at 7-15 the previous evening, he saw the prisoner going form door to door in Peel Street, offering books for sale at a penny each. When asked if he had a certificate permitting him to carry out this trade, he replied in the negative, adding that he was only after a copper for his night’s lodgings. But PC Pope added that as a matter of fact he had engaged and paid for his bed at the lodging house and he had l id in money. He was sent to gaol for seven days’ hard labour. • “Remarkable bowling at Chatburn

MichaeFs new Bowland role 50 years ago


RUNNER-UP in the Dairy Maid contest at Burnley Show the previous year - 17- year-old Anne Berry, of Lower Standen Farm, Pendleton - won the competition outri^t 50 years ago this week. She would now represent Burnley in the regional -contest of Dairy Princess \vith a chance of becoming Dairy Queen, a title which car­ ried with it the prize of a trip to America. • A bird which flew into a crevice in a


quarry face at Salthill attracted the atten­ tion of three boys playing in the quarry. One of them, 14-year-old Francis Rich­ ardson, of 17 Standen Road, Clitheroe, decided to climb up to see if there was a nest, but on his way down, after finding nothing, he fell aout 50 feet to the bottom of the cliff breaking his ankle and leg in three places. • Wiswell CE School would not be

We spent two hours in the wind and the rain threading poles through holes, untying guy ropes and pegging out until finally we stood back to admire our handiwork.

COCKLES and Mussels in the Market Place heralded the beginning of Clit­ heroe Shopping Festival and Heritage Fayre. Throughout the week, Clitheroe Chamber of Trade organised a wide va­ riety of activities with which to entertain shoppers and attract other visitors to the town . The Shire horses from Thwaites Brewery caused quite a stir early in the week, while on the Friday jesters and clowns took the town centre by storm, as the Lancashire Puppet Theatre gave an open air show at the Castle gates. • Clitheroe girl Kirsty Speak was

Later, Kirsty went on to become a professional golfer.
