Ken Varey Footwear & The Footwear Gallery

WHO better to open a new footwear store than a comedy “leg end”?

Funnyman Frank Carson had the crowd in stitches as he opened The Footwear Gallery, in New Market Street, Clitheroe.

He put his heart and “sole” into cutting the ribbon along with Ribble Valley’s Mayor, Coun. Lois Rimmer, who struggled to keep a straight face.

During the day hundreds of people turned out to meet Frank and were left with aching ribs from his humour and funny stories.

Jean Forshaw, manager of the stylish new store, commented: “We had a lovely day, Frank kept us all highly entertained throughout the day.”
