General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I don't think it was where the shops ( Mortar Mill) are, it seems to be more Heather Grove ish but I could be wrong!

Directly opposite is a path leading to Newtown colliery - this is what became known as the sewerage path and led to the white bridge over the canal and onto Frog Lane. So if you imagine standing where Pizza Hut is not, the hall would have been at about "11 0'clock" through logwood flats across and over to the end of PLane Ave, Bramble and Heather Grovers.

Looking at the map Danni there are two Norley Collieries! not quarries . . . Norley Quarry was at the end of Britannia Rd Marsh Green - a fair way away!


And it has to be said I DID used to teach Local history and geography in schools - especially in this area (Marsh green, Scot Lane, Pemberton) - I'm sure there's some ex-pupils here who tremble when they hear my name! lol
