Haslingden & local memories
Read and share memories of Haslingden and Lancashire inspired by Frith photos.
Easter Sunday
I remember St Mary's church as a child on Easter Sunday, my foster mum was a wonderful dressmaker and she always made myself and her two girls lovely dresses and matching cardigans. Life was so uncomplecated then. I'm hoping to go and visit Haslinden around September so that's one place I will be visiting again.
Happy Days
My memories of growing up in Haslingden are happy. I loved where we lived on Lime Road. My dear friend lived on Hillside Road. What joy we had. We used to play in the valley or go to the local cinema. I still love the movies. I went to St Mary's junior school and then to St Aambrose (it's changed names so I've heard). I used to be in the church's pantos, I even played the dame once, what a laugh. As a teenager we use to go to the Milky Bar and hang out, as they say. Then there was the local youth club, I even remember going see 'Herman and the Hermits' in the town if my memory serves me well. It's been a long time since I last visited Haslingden, in fact it's been 15 years, I must make the effort to make another visit. If anyone remembers me it would be nice to hear from you.
Hoyles
I would like more info on the Hoyles of Haslingden, plus the Burns family from Accrington, and Baxendale. My great grandfather was a accomplished runner Samuel Brookes Hoyle, and also delivered mail in the locality especially Grane Road. Mr Burns was an accomplished tailor, from Ireland, but died suddenly, I'm interested if anyone knows the circumstances circa that era maybe around 1920; I have quite an extended family in the local area, that I'm interested historically.
I would also be interested in knowing about Randall's Bakery where my grandmother Kathleen Burns (nee Hoyle) worked before she married my grandfather.
And I believe Im related to the Rothwells...year unknown at moment....
any info greatfully recieved
