Shackerley
A Memory of Tyldesley.
My mum and Dad moved to Shackerley just as I started secondary school, which I think it was 1972. I attended Tyldesley Boys County Secondary School. We lived in a bungalow on Hertford Drive, they couldn't build a house opposite because they had to periodically vent due to gasses from the mine shafts! On other side of Hertford Drive my friend Alan Kemp lived and we used to ride our bikes all over the place. There were some great riding tracks leading to and around the slag heaps which we climbed and got filthy. My mum used to shop at the store on the little shopping precinct, I think the manager there was a Mr Orth?
