More about this scene

Our photographer stood in Church Street; the part we see is Market Place, where the early markets took place. The White Lion Hotel on the right is still there today, and so is W D Cunliffe the grocers and bakers (telephone 123). Next to them, out of the picture, is now the Clitheroe Information Centre. Three doors down on the right, with a horse-drawn vegetable cart in front, is the Victoria Hotel, on the corner of King Street. I have enjoyed many a Sunday lunch there. All four of the hotels on Castle Street do very good meals. The cafe next door had Taylor & Hughes as proprietors in 1921: their slogan was 'we are noted for our pork pies'.

By a lucky chance I was included in this invitation due to a strange set of circumstances... Just the Autumn before, in 1979, I had begun to play my piano accordian for the Whitethorn Morris team in Harrow, ...see more
I remember this pool vividly! One day I was riding my tricyle round the outside of the pool, which wasn't filled with water at the time. Unfortunately I happened to fall in and I cut my hand on a broken glass. After 34 years I still have a scar to prove it.
