■ The National Food Hygiene Rating Scheme, being'operated as a j'oint collaboration between 12 different councils in Lanca shire, was launched by the May or of the Ribble Valley, Coun. Simon Hore, and Jeff Rooker,
chairman of the Food Standards Agency. The new scheme will see all
food-serving establishments re ceive a rating from five to zero for food hygiene to be displayed prominently in their premises, preferably at the main entrance. Outlets will be assessed on a wide range of criteria, including
preparation, cooking, re-heat- mg, cooling and storage of food, as well as effective pest control, waste disposal and whether em ployees are suitably supervised . instructed and trained.
environmental health officer, Ea- monn Roberts said; “The scheme will make customers aware of how a food outlet is performing against required standards and therefore enable them to make an informed choice about where thev buv or consume food.”

Women’s Institute Mrs Joan Behrens wel
In 1948 it was decided to turn the tower into a museum and it was fi nally opened in 1951/52.
Fate intervened during the Second World War when Mrs Hough’s mother died and her father was called up. This allowed her and her sister to move to live with their aunt and uncle who subsequently moved to the tower where her uncle became the caretaker in 1948. She recalled a very hap py childhood with lots of singing and miisic, around the piano and harmonium at week ends with all the family. She described her care free life there. How her aunt took great pride in furnishing the place with the comforts of the day, for example, coconut matting and peg rugs for the floors, ash-pit lava tory, wearing clogs to go to school, a slopstone in the wash-house, milk kits (churns), black twist for chewing (not smok ing) by her uncle etc.
Mrs Hough was able to tell how the modern-day tower evolved and had

comed members and introduced Mrs Doreen Hough who gave a fas cinating talk entitled “My Childhood at Tur- ton Tower”. She gave a brief outline of the his tory of the tower, which was originally a lookout tower dating back to 1199. Seven generations of one family lived there culminating in a bad debt cleared by Hum phrey Chetham’s pur chase of the property. He went on to be a great benefactor locally as well as setting up Cheth am’s School of Music in Manchester. The last owner. Lady Lena Knowles, donated the tower to Turton UDC who used it initially for council business and employed a caretaker.
