Born in Westhoughton

I was born in Westhoughton, I lived in 53 Townsfield Road when I was born, then moved to 8 Allenby Grove until I left at the age of 23 and came to Australia. In primary school I went to Sacred Heart School and then in high school I attended the Senior Girls' School on Park Road. I remember at Easter climbing Rivington Pike. I am married now with one daughter and two grandchildren and I have lived in Australia a long time, but my thoughts always go back to the happy childhood I had in Westhoughton.

RE: RE: Born in Westhoughton

I just stumbled upon this site by typing in 'old Westhoughton photographs' on google.... Me and my partner bought 53 Townsfield Road in 1995, I grew up around the corner with my mum and dad on Chestnut Drive (they still there) since1982/83.

RE: RE: Born in Westhoughton

Hi Lesley, Nice to hear from you, it just goes to show what a small world it is, My sister still lives at Allenby Grove in Westhoughton. You would be suprised at the amount of people I have met in Australia that know Westhoughton. My brother and another sister visit often, I was eight years old when we left Townsfield Road' Kind regards, Pauline
