This is the Star Hotel and the darts team that was on Wigan Road, it is now standing somewhere in America like it did on Wigan Road, as an old English pub imported from England



Do you know any of them, I'm on it lol

Hi Dougie.

A long time since I lived in A in M, I was born in Downall Green 74 years ago yesterday. Regarding the Star Hotel, was this building on Wigan Road near the junction with Nicol Road, across from the Grammar School, if it was, I think that to the left of it was a large house that was, or became a Doctors surgery, my Grandparents lived in the terrace of houses on the Bryn side of the Hotel and had a large allotment at the rear which backed onto Nicol Mere. In the early 1950s I attended Ashton Secondary School with the son of the then owner of the Hotel, his name was Causey. On a different point, (the Past Lakes), I would not have called The Dam on Downall Green Road a lake, having played there many times over 60 years ago, it was more of a boggy patch on Millingford Brook where people sometimes dumped their rubbish, the sharp bend to the right in the road was always known as Dam Corner.

Robin the first part of your post is all correct but it would have been better if you had put this part on the lake thread,
