RIBBLE VALLEY AND FOREST OF BOWLAND WALK FEATURING CLITHEROE, WORSAW HILL AND DOWNHAM
"Delight in Downham"
Filmed 27th May 2015
Post-production completed 16th July 2015
Whilst staying in Lancashire for a few days I decide to visit the village and local countryside where one of my favourite films was made. It is an absolute thrill and delight for me to visit some of the filming locations of “Whistle Down the Wind”.
Filmed in the Ribble Valley and Forest of Bowland in the county of Lancashire. Locations include Clitheroe, Worsaw Hill and Downham.
Written, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach.
Any other names credited in this film, i.e. Bob Morgan and Martin Roy, are pseudonyms, which I used at the time of making this film. However, I no longer use these pseudonyms as I want viewers to be clear that my films are completely my own work.

DISCLAIMER: Although I work hard to ensure all information is correct to the best of my knowledge, I am only featuring information I have found online during my research when putting this film together, so I cannot guarantee that there are no mistakes or errors.
As with all the films I make, this is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I might share some of my own personal stories, and not actually intended to be a guide to the area.

Downham village Lancashire
The picturesque village of Downham is set at the foot of Pendle Hill and captures the essence of rural Britain, yet remains a secret gem. The family of Lord Clitheroe, known as the Asshetons, effectively own the village, which is one of the loveliest in Lancashire. The houses and cottages are stone-built, there are no road markings, no overhead cables, no TV aerials and no horrible Sky satellite dishes to spoil the view. The village has been used for many films, the most famous being 'Whistle Down the Wind' starring Alan Bates and Hayley Mills. The surrounding area was the inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth in the Lord of the Rings saga. And, the BBC chose it to film the series 'Born and Bred' which starred James Bolam, Michael French, Maggie Steed, John Henshaw and Jenna Russell.
Downham village sits close to an old Roman road and it is in an area that was said to be the haunt of the infamous Lancashire witches. The impressive bulk of Pendle Hill towers almost 1900 feet above the village. Tales of witchcraft in and around Downham have abounded since early on in the 17th-century when ten witches from near here were tried and then hanged at Lancaster Castle.
The architectural uniform style of the village is due to the Assheton family who have watched over the village since the 13th-century when they built Downham Hall. Not a great deal altered here until the early part of the 18th-century when the generosity of the Asshetons made improvements to the village. More homes were built and a vast sum of money was spent enhancing St. Leonards Church. The Asshetons built a school for the village and added a grand Regency facade to Downham Hall.
Downhams church and the Assheton Arms (the village inn) are close to Downham Hall at the top of the village. The church bells are said to have been removed from Whalley Abbey when it was "dissolved" (aka "demolished") by Henry VIII in 1537. The church also has a 16th century font given to the church by Abbot Paslew, the last monk in charge of Whalley Abbey.
At the opposite end of the village an old stone bridge spans a sparkling stream, another village green is surrounded by old stone houses and cottages.
All around is lovely open countryside. Rich farmlands are hidden away in the quiet lanes and contented sheep and cattle graze in meadows that front gracious old stone farmhouses, it is a place of quiet serenity.
This video shows an example of what sights I recorded on a short day trip on Saturday 17th April 2010.

Downham
Coordinates: 51°25′33″N 0°00′21″E / 51.4257°N 0.0058°E / 51.4257; 0.0058
Downham is a suburban district located in south east London, with parts inside of the London Borough of Lewisham. It is located north of Bromley.
Downham was named in honour of Lord Downham, who was chairman of the London County Council between 1919-20.
The Prime Meridian passes just to the west of Downham.
Downham is one of the only Inner London districts that doesn't fall under a London Postcode.
History
Origins of Downham estate
Before 1920, the area had no houses, apart from a shooting range close to Rangefield Road and areas of farmland in the period around 1890. Some belonged to Holloway Farm and others to Shroffolds Farm. Following the First World War, local boroughs like Deptford, Bermondsey as well as the London County Council [LCC] felt it was essential to reduce overcrowding by erecting more residential property. This needed to excel that which was provided by private landlords. The final spur for LCC to commence works in the area was the new law of 1923 that provided government funding to enable residential developments to be built by local governments. As a result, the Downham Estate was developed towards the end of the 1920s by the London County Council.

RIBBLE VALLEY AND FOREST OF BOWLAND WALK FEATURING CLITHEROE, WORSAW HILL AND DOWNHAM
"Delight in Downham"
Filmed 27th May 2015
Post-production completed 16th July 2015
Whilst staying in Lancashire for a few days I decide to visit the village and local countryside where one of my favourite films was made. It is an absolute thrill and delight for me to visit some of the filming locations of “Whistle Down the Wind”.
Filmed in the Ribble Valley and Forest of Bowland in the county of Lancashire. Locations include Clitheroe, Worsaw Hill and Downham.
Written, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach.
Any other names credited in this film, i.e. Bob Morgan and Martin Roy, are pseudonyms, which I used at the time of making this film. However, I no longer use these pseudonyms as I want viewers to be clear that my films are completely my own work.
Click here for a map showing the route of the walk: https://osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/route/3196928/Downham-and-Worsaw-Hill
DISCLAIMER: Although I work hard to ensure all information is correct to the best of my knowledge, I am only featuring information I have found online during my research when putting this film together, so I cannot guarantee that there are no mistakes or errors.
As with all the films I make, this is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I might share some of my own personal stories, and not actually intended to be a guide to the area.
If you are new to my channel, I strongly recommend reading the description under the “about” tab, which will provide a clearer understanding of what to expect in my films: https://www.youtube.com/c/solitaryrambler/about
There is also a short “Introduction to the Solitary Rambler” video, which briefly explains what my films are all about: https://www.youtube.com/c/solitaryrambler/featured

Downham village Lancashire
The picturesque village of Downham is set at the foot of Pendle Hill and captures the essence of rural Britain, yet remains a secret gem. The family of Lord Clitheroe, known as the Asshetons, effectively own the village, which is one of the loveliest in Lancashire. The houses and cottages are stone-built, there are no road markings, no overhead cables, no TV aerials and no horrible Sky satellite dishes to spoil the view. The village has been used for many films, the most famous being 'Whistle Down the Wind' starring Alan Bates and Hayley Mills. The surrounding area was the inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth in the Lord of the Rings saga. And, the BBC chose it to film the series 'Born and Bred' which starred James Bolam, Michael French, Maggie Steed, John Henshaw and Jenna Russell.
Downham village sits close to an old Roman road and it is in an area that was said to be the haunt of the infamous Lancashire witches. The impressive bulk of Pendle Hill towers almost 1900 feet above the village. Tales of witchcraft in and around Downham have abounded since early on in the 17th-century when ten witches from near here were tried and then hanged at Lancaster Castle.
The architectural uniform style of the village is due to the Assheton family who have watched over the village since the 13th-century when they built Downham Hall. Not a great deal altered here until the early part of the 18th-century when the generosity of the Asshetons made improvements to the village. More homes were built and a vast sum of money was spent enhancing St. Leonards Church. The Asshetons built a school for the village and added a grand Regency facade to Downham Hall.
Downhams church and the Assheton Arms (the village inn) are close to Downham Hall at the top of the village. The church bells are said to have been removed from Whalley Abbey when it was "dissolved" (aka "demolished") by Henry VIII in 1537. The church also has a 16th century font given to the church by Abbot Paslew, the last monk in charge of Whalley Abbey.
At the opposite end of the village an old stone bridge spans a sparkling stream, another village green is surrounded by old stone houses and cottages.
All around is lovely open countryside. Rich farmlands are hidden away in the quiet lanes and contented sheep and cattle graze in meadows that front gracious old stone farmhouses, it is a place of quiet serenity.
This video shows an example of what sights I recorded on a short day trip on Saturday 17th April 2010.

The film 'Downham - A Home In The Country', shows Downham In 1986, 30 years ago, where the older generation talk of the towns earlier time when they first arrived. Many of those interviewed seemed to have moved to Downham from Deptford, and used words like 'Paradise', 'Heaven', 'A New World' to described their early experience of coming to their new home. At that time (they probably arrived there in the 1920s and 1930s) it was very much a countryside destination.

Downham
Coordinates: 51°25′33″N 0°00′21″E / 51.4257°N 0.0058°E / 51.4257; 0.0058
Downham is a suburban district located in south east London, with parts inside of the London Borough of Lewisham. It is located north of Bromley.
Downham was named in honour of Lord Downham, who was chairman of the London County Council between 1919-20.
The Prime Meridian passes just to the west of Downham.
Downham is one of the only Inner London districts that doesn't fall under a London Postcode.
History
Origins of Downham estate
Before 1920, the area had no houses, apart from a shooting range close to Rangefield Road and areas of farmland in the period around 1890. Some belonged to Holloway Farm and others to Shroffolds Farm. Following the First World War, local boroughs like Deptford, Bermondsey as well as the London County Council [LCC] felt it was essential to reduce overcrowding by erecting more residential property. This needed to excel that which was provided by private landlords. The final spur for LCC to commence works in the area was the new law of 1923 that provided government funding to enable residential developments to be built by local governments. As a result, the Downham Estate was developed towards the end of the 1920s by the London County Council.

Gone
In a dream I had a final vision
How come you just want to be my friend? How come?
Will you ever have to justify
The hidden meaning in your time again, hey
I'm gone, gone just like the past because I'm gone
And you won't be the last 'cause I'll be strong
Now can you hear my voice? Because I'm gone, hey
In an ordinary complication, I come to my realization, how come?
Well, you came to me with velvet skin
How come I did let you in? How come?
I'm gone, gone just like the past because I'm gone
And you won't be the last 'cause I'll be strong
Now can you hear my voice? Because I'm gone
Still it breaks me down inside as I walk through the fire
But I am a stronger man
Nothing will change me at all, you lie
In a dream I had a final vision
How come you just want to be my friend? How come?
I'm gone, gone just like the past because I'm gone
And you won't be the last 'cause I'll be strong
Now can you hear my voice? Tonight I'm gone
I'm gone, gone just like the past because I'm gone
And you won't be the last 'cause I'll be strong
