The house on the corner of Atherton Road and the lane (track ) leading to the Tanyard used to be lived in by the Alkers. Wilf Alker played for the Latics in the 50's. In the field between the Tanyard and the houses were some pens--allotments as you call them now--the owners grew flowers mainly carnations and chrysanths.
Used to walk up the lane to the Hollins farm, sister-in law ( Aldred's )lived there.
