Re: Re: Chat about matters relating to Ashton

Hello,
Whith 24 years old,(in 1976) i was in Ashton learning English.It was the first time i left my country Spain and my city Barcelona.
I still remember the park near the house-school where i was living and learning. I have 5 photos, 2 of the famous park taken the same year, the rest of your city. Only one disco,the fish and ships,the pub and the teacher....monday morning after a sunday journey to see Blackpool....

Salvador, Did you go to Blackpool yesterday?
Yes I went to Blackpool yesterday
Salvador Did you see Blackpool tower?
Yes i saw Blackpool Tower

And then how to explain the family where the city was located very easy.... "Ashton in Makerfield near Wigan"

What a 1976......
