Nostalgic memories of Northlew's local history

Share your own memories of Northlew and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

On the left is Mrs Foster's farmhouse. This view taken behind my granny's house - I would have been 3 then. I spent hours playing on the bridge (see other photo) and used to walk to the stream through the churchyard to go fishing. Julian Perry
Re the photo of Northlew Bridge, I am sure this is me, the tallest girl, my sister the smallest girl and the other is my cousin. My grandparents lived in Northlew and we went down from Bolton to visit for holidays.
