Anthony Burke is celebrating after winning a Dry Stone Walling competition in a Lancashire agricultural show.

Anthony, from Littleborough, won his class in his first ever Dry Stone Walling competition at Trawden Show in Clitheroe at the beginning of August.

A former Wardle High school pupil, Anthony trained with his dad Stephen Burke and his brother Daryl Burke after obtaining a History Degree from Manchester University.

His mum, Lisa Burke, said, "We are all so very proud of his achievement."

Anthony is a member of The Dry Stone Walling Association and he is keen to continue competing as well as furthering his career in dry stone walling and becoming a Master Craftsman.

Anthony has also restored his own landrover 'Old Betsy' and regularly assists at Friends of Hare Hill Park events. Old Betsy is a recognised vehicle about Littleborough and usually raises a smile from passers by.
