I believe I went to the Ormerod Home, at the age of about eight or nine, as a result of the Local Authority (Blackpool) having a number of reserved places at this establishment. Homes such as this were built along the sand dunes near Blackpool in order to provide a healthy environment, in which youngsters from the north west could spend... [more]

Hi anyone remember "Little Nellie" (husband Joe) and their daughter Annie and grand daughter Margaret, from Sultan Street in Accrington.

"Oh Happy Days". My first view of Staining was the 9th June 1960. I remember it well. I seem to remember the Staining bus did NOT go into the village, but stopped across from the old Plough pub. My gran had bought a caravan there, just up Chain Lane, on Mrs Smiths caravan site. Mr and Mrs Smith lived in the... [more]

The Fylde Photographic Memories
The square-towered St Cuthbert's Church is not far from the large cricket ground, where a socket of a stone cross (marking one of the resting places of St Cuthbert when he was being carried to his final tomb at Durham) was found in a hedge. In later years the cross defined monastic lands; one boundary was at the hamlet of Cross... [more]
