Along established business in Clitheroe is celebrating the ar­ rival of new owners. The Clitheroe Pharmacy


has been bought by the GPs of Castle and Pendleside Medi­ cal Groups and as the age of a new era dawns the business will move forward developing its customer service. As the business is doctor


owned it is in the enviable position of having the oppor­


Ml I I


tunity to develop a close work­ ing relationship to offeragreat communicationlinkbetween GP and Pharmacy and vice versa for a huge range of med­ ical and pharmaceutical serv­ ices. This will improve care, compliance and expertise. The business dates back


to 1925 when it was started in Moor Lane by Harry Taylor who previously had a shop in Chatburn.


The next owner wasGeorge


Sheldon in 1942 who ran the business until his death in 1972 when it was bought by Richard and Marion Read. They sold it to Mike and Jen­ ny Heyes in 1983 and the last owner was Peter Atherton who took over in 1996. The Clitheroe Pharmacy


has a full team of highly expe­ rienced, qualified and skilled members of staff.


The two pharmacists are


Kurum Azad (Superintendent Pharmacist) and Janice Wood who is Clitheroe born and has worked in the area for the majority of her career. Adele Robinson is the Manager and Senior Pharmacy Technician/ Accuracy Checking Techni­ cian and there are five other members of the team who are also fully trained. The Pharmacy First

Those two devastating sentenc­ es from a consultant seemed to sum up how life would be for Paul Atkinson who suffered brain damage whenhewasjust a few days old. But the medic who made


those predictions 34 years ago could not have been more wrong. For Paul’s family did not


heed the advice. In fact they went the opposite way, follow­ ing the Christian motto that “children are to be nurtured in love, security and truth.” And through that careful

nurturing, care and love, Paul’s talent as an artist has shone through and he has produced some thought provoking and in­ teresting artwork based on Bi­ ble stories such as the feeding of the 5,000, the Last Supper and Joseph’s coat of many colours. These have now been repro­


duced as canvas pictures and on cushion covers thanks'to Paul’s mum, Val who, with the help of friends and a business ac­ quaintance set up the venture, Pictures to Ponder. A website has been set up where you can


view a full range of products in­ spired by Paul’s work. Although he moved to Ches­


ter eight years with his fam­ ily, Paul grew up in Mitton and comes home to the Ribble Valley often tostaywithGeoffandAnn Dearden who have provided res­ pite care for him since he was a child at their home in Wad- dington. Ann said: “ We love having


Paul to stay, he is like one of the family now and hecomestostay with us as a friend.” Over theyears Paul has been


helped by his carer, Carol, who has kept him active, entertained and educated forone day a week for 10 years. During that time she has coaxed him through sewing, sticking, cutting, past­ ing, weaving, ball games, fish­ ing, accessing pictures in books and on the computer. It has been a case of trial


and error trying to unlock what makes Paul react as he does not communicate well through lan­ guage and has very short term memory. But it is clear that Paul is in­


terested in people as all his pic­ tures centre around people and their life circumstances. Seeing these wonderful pictures that Paul has created proves that he really is a living example of the motto that love conquers all. To view Paul’s work go to


the website www.picture- stoponder.co.uk.
