Re: Re: The Lump

the road from the area where RedlandCourt now stands up to Maines Brew (& the Brick Bus Shelter that stood there) is on a definate incline,this was, I understand , caused by mining subsidence. Apparently 2 houses Nos 565 567 Bolton Rd had to be demolished because of subsidence late 1940s/ early 1950s. So I think wherever there was subsidence you may find a 'lump' Jeanette
