Lancashire memories
Loveclough Park
I remember riding bikes on Loveclough park in the late night sunshine with Stene. No worries in the world; early 1980s. The place was buzzing with youngsters and not a parent in sight. Freedom; not like now. Kids are not allowed to wander, the park's a disgrace; it's been left to rot by Rossendale Council.
Family History
I am looking for any information about a family called Mccormack, they lived in Stonehome Terrace, then Goodshawfold, then Hamer Avenue. Phyllis Mccormack was in the army in the 1940s, stationed at Catterick army camp (anything on her would be very welcome). Her parents were Michael Mccormack (he died in the First World War), and her mother was Jane Ellen (nee Heys), she married again to a Herbert Meeks. I know it seems I already have info on the family but there is such a lot missing. Phyllis worked at Springbank Mill, Goodshawfold and at Kippax Mill in the 1950s. Any information I would be very grateful for, thank you for reading this.
Fisher Hindle Hargreaves Family
Hi, I was trying to trace my family, the last known address I have for them was from the 1911 census which was Newchurch Road in 1936. The father James Fisher died, he was a signal man at one point, he was married to Esther Hindle, they had two children, Emily Fisher and James Fisher. Emily married James Hargreaves. Any info no matter how small would be great.
Happy Memories.
My family of 8 moved to Duke Bar in 1960. I was 6 years old. We lived on Pheasantford Street, which is not visible on the photo but it was a right turn before reaching the Duke of York Hotel. I worked at Hudson's cake shop opposite the left side of the hotel. I worked for Mr and Mrs Hudson and served in the shop on Saturdays. I was 13 years old when I worked there. When I went home, Mrs Hudson would put any unsold cream cakes in a bag for me to take home for my family. I also had a paper round which used to be my brother's round, I took it over when he gave it up, I delivered papers after school. I worked for Malc who sold papers on the street corner opposite Mrs Tattersall's shop. Mrs Tattersall sold sweets from big jars which you bought by weight. She sold cigarettes and even sold them one at a time, I saw her do... Read more
Burnley on Barracks Road
At the house where we lived from 1928 until 1935, (No 24 Barracks Road, Burnley, now called Cavalry Way), it was called a 'back to back' row cottage. It comprised of two bedrooms upstairs, one just about able to fit a double bed, and one very small room for two single beds. This is where my sister and I slept until seven years later when we moved house, after my brother was born (we were all born in Burnley Bank Hall Hospital). When my younger brother was being born, our dad caught two pigeons and baked a pigeon pie with vegetables, to take to our mother at the hospital. I do not remember any other furniture in our bedroom, it had a very small window high up. We used to have to go to bed at 6:30pm every night. I can remember Sunday nights in summer when the ice cream man rang his big old school bell. Sometimes, we were lucky and got an ice cream cornet with raspberry syrup... Read more
The Ormerod Family.
Ormerod House passed out of the Ormerod family when the male line died out and the three daughters of the last Ormerod married. Their husbands were John Hargreaves, a local coal mine owner, the Rev William Thursby who became vicar of the local church and General Scarlett who led the Charge of the Heavy Brigade to retake the field after the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava. The family fortunes grew with the mines during the Industrial Revolution and the boom in the cotton industry but in their enthusiasm to mine more and more coal they managed to extend the mine workings from the pit head some four miles away, under the house which caused subsidence damage to such an extent that the main house had to be demolished in about 1929. Only the outbuildings and stables now remain. The Ormerod family goes back to 1290 at the same location.
