Memories of Lancashire
Gibsons of Melling
I worked at Gibsons at Melling in the early 1960s, does anyone out there remember me> I remember Bob, Len and Mike Gibson, they were agricultual engineers. I think they gave over a few years ago now. Has anyone got any info?
Scouts 1909
I have a photo of my great-grandfather John Richard (Dick) Erskine outside the Castle Hotel, Hornby in 1909 with two young Scouts named Lawrence and Hector Todd (born 1900 and 1901 approx). They all formed part of the 1st Lancaster Troop. If anyone has any information about Dick Erskine (especially post 1945), I would love to hear from them as am researching the family history.
Dancing
My memories are of dancing in the Castle Hotel, in the upstairs ballroom before the new vilage hall was built.

That Small Tin of Paint!
Just after my father brought Borwick Hall in 1946 I went with my mother to a shop and she brought a tin of paint. I was all of eight years old at the time and when we got back "home" I looked around and wondered just where she would start!
