Remembering
I was brought up in Mossley and have lots of happy memories. My sister Dot still lives there, she fills me in on what is going on. I now live in Florida but will always be a part of Mossley which I took so much for granted while living there. I have travelled to a lot of places and countries since I left there but believe me there is nowhere quite like Mossley, it is a lovely place to see. I show people over here photos and they all say it looks nice. I had a lot of good friends there. I went to All Saints C of E, left school in 1959, started work at Astalls foundry then went to the Brunswick mill for a while. Both parents were born in Mossley so we really belong there. No matter where I go I will never forget it or my life and friends who are still there, so if anyone wants to get in touch my e mail is pete010@adelphia.net. I will keep checking back now and then and hope someone else writes here. It is a good idea, will write some more later.. Pete Brooks

RE: RE: Remembering
Hi, I too am Mossley born and bred. I was born on Staley Road in 1967 and remember the Brunswick Mill (and the smell), my mother's family the Bowkers were also Mossley folk. I still live here now and have seen many changes over the years, it seemed at one time no one wanted to live here as it was/is semi rural with its surrounding moors, but with new houses going up where the mills once used to stand it seems Mossley is now the place to live, with the Huddersfield Canal and the bridle paths, Luzley Moor and Hartshead Pike all on our doorstep. Yes, Mossley to me will always be lovely and home to me.
