Re: Where in Ashton-in-Makerfield

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?

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

Re: Where in Ashton-in-Makerfield

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.
