I never realised that Ravenswood Ave was so close to the Mill.

Do you remember the green coating it used to have on the top of it shinyb1? My dads friend drowned in there dont think they ever found him.

i do remember the green coating , they did find the lad , he was off worsley mesnes i think . that pond stank , used to collect newts ( always put them back though.)
My dad Frank Barton tried to save a youth in May Mill Lodge on the 22nd June 1941, unfortunatly he was too late and the poor lad died.
My dad recieved an honour from the Royal Humane Society I still have it.
Could this be the same one>
