A Selection of Memories from Littleborough

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Littleborough

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

As a young girl in the mid fifties I have fond memories of walking around Hollingworth Lake. Having stories of ghosts living under the lake, the walk seemed never ending, frightnening at times if I lost track of my parents, but beautiful! A child's imagination of a hand rising up from the deeps in the middle of the lake, made unbearable by an older brother, disappeared as I walked amongst spring flowers to the sounds of starlings and magpies.
My grandmother Emma Fielding was born at the Fisherman's Inn in 1893. Her mother lived at Antioch Cottages further along the road so I can only presume that her mother Martha Ann Wild was related to the landlord at that time, also called Wild, and she went into labour whilst she was visiting!   Roslyn Crabtree
