Burnley Express readers' letters: 'I was delighted to see myself in Bygone Clarion article's photograph'

I was delighted to see the article about Clarion Houses in the Burnley Express.

I was even more delighted to see the photo of me sat on my mother’s knee in the black and white photo at Roggerham. We are in the middle of the photo just behind the people in black.

I remember the day very well, I wrote about it in my memoir ‘Shot at Twice in One Day’. I remember the photo being taken and being very annoyed by the child in the silly hat.

The Clarion is still alive and well, we have more than 2,000 members in the Clarion Cycling Club, several hundred in Clarion Ramblers and about 100 in the Clarion Choir.
