Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I attended the old St. Marks School and use to come down the school steps, cross over and wait very close to the gatehouse for the No.9 bus to take me home, well at least to the top of Lumber Lane where I alighted and crossed over to walk down the lane home.
My sister and I grew up in Worsley,we went to Worsley High School in the fifties we cannot find any evidence of it's existence,we know a Fire burnt the beautiful house down in the sixties and a modern building replaced it,later it became a nursery school called by it's original name The Crow's Nest.Does any one have any information or photo's of us wearing our big boaters?.Iwas also in the girl guides at St Marks ...see more
My grandparents (now deceased) owned the Mill Brow Cafe from 1935 to 1947. I would be very grateful if anyone could share any memories which they may have of the cafe between these dates.
Thank you.
Oh yes, I remember the cafe well. Used to come down the brow from St. Marks at lunchtime to get sherbert dips etc. The counter was high and I could only just see over the top. Also, sometimes after Sunday School at the local Methodist Church would walk home via the cafe - get an ice cream and then walk through Worsley Woods or up the main Walkden Road to home. Fond memories.
