Town: Ashton

That's my pony. You last photographed her on Gerard Street on Christmas Eve.

Karin, I were reading one of your posts from way back was you related to Roy Hope by any chance we was at school together in 1951/55, he lived on the farm that you was talking about in the 50s think it was more of a pig farm then

Town: Ashton

Yes Roy Hope is my Uncle he died when I was a baby so I can't remember him a lot.
My grandad and g grandad farmed dairy, poultry and arable. It only became a pig farm after they left.

To continue the theme. Where's this?

Town: Hut

Please Miss,Please Miss I know, you pass them as you walk to the A49 at --------, but does anyone else know before I tell you lol,

Is it the Crippens Cottages near Bryn Hall Farm?

Om the road between Bamfurlong and Landgate.

I agree with Karin, I think its Crippens cottages on Bryn Gates Lone.

Whereabouts was this then?

Town: ashton

Town: Stubshaw Cross

Andrede thats a good old photo that I don't remember, but I think I've just walked passed it as it is today lol,was there a farm on the right of that photo in the 50/60s, I don't think "Ian" is right

By the way as any thread gets bigger to get to the last "New Post" just click the END key on your keyboard

Town: Ashton

Dougie, I asked the question whereabouts was it because I genuinely dont know! I have been trying to get some old family slides onto my computer and this was in there. If there are any more of local interest: buildings and such, I will put them on.

Seeing as it says Bryn Gates and the road seems to slope Im guessing it was somewhere near the brew into Bryn Gates or the Bonk?

Town: ashton

Ian maybe right, I was thinking of the building on Bolton Road across from Captains Lane, that's now the Doctors surgery and a house but I now know I was wrong

Town: Ashton

The co-op was 5 doors down from Bryn Hall Pub on the corner of 1st street.

This is meant to be another photo of Bryn Gates co-op but they do not match. Saying that, they are years apart.
