DownhamWI president ■ FrancesGarnerwelcomed guests from Downham HistoryGrouptotheir January meeting when the speaker was Harriet Roberts.


Frances also welcomed John Wrigley and members of Stage 2 Drama Group, who were there not only to listen to Harriet but also to view the memorial clock presented by Downham WI in memory of John’s wife, Elizabeth, who died suddenly two years ago. Elizabeth - Liz to her


friends and family -was a very special lady. She had ■ been a member of Downham WI since 1988, served on the committee, acted as a dele­ gate, won prizes and indeed cups at the WI annual show, and authored a challenging ar­ ticle in the national WI maga­ zine.

tory group and a very active member of Stage 2, so it was very appropriate that both were represented. All these talents are mentioned in the plaque at the back of the hall, which John has presented. It is a fitting tribute to a charming and much loved lady. In her fascinating talk


about the “Buried Treasure of James Dixon”, guest speaker Harriet told how James had been a founder member of the Blackburn Orphanage in 1881 when it was called the “Ragged School”. James had moved to Black­


burn from Scotland in the 1880s seeking work as a joiner. He was so shocked and moved by the deprivation in the area that, along with colleague Thomas Walkden, he set up a “Ragged School”. He also put his life savings into building the foundation for a boys’ or­ phanage, swiftly followed by one for girls. Children came from towns across the region


and were not necessarily true orphans, but the victims of overcrowded homes, neglect and abuse caused by drink problems and family break­ down.


. The “buried treasure”


found in the cellars of the former orphanage in Wilp- shire consisted o f pupils records and painted a vivid picture of social history over- 120 years. The orphanage pro­ vided sport, recreation and skills as well ashed and board, and only closed in 1990. When publicity of the ar­


chive discovery was aired former pupils came forward to tell their stories of happy times spent there. Charity events called


“Pound Days”, based on details found in the archives, now help to fund Child Action Northwest, which provides assistance for many children and their families today. For more information visit: www. canw.org.uk
