Kath, I don't know what years you lived in Lower Ince, but my friend has vivid memories of a big alsatian dog that used to hang around Crow Orchard Motors.His name was Major. My friend's Auntie, Sarah Langford, lived in Crow Orchard Terrace. My teacher in the Babies Class at Ince Central was brought up in Westwood Terrace and has fond memories of The Regal and of playing in the cornfield. Her name was Margaret Ashurst, later Margaret Johnson when she married Harry, and they lived in Burgess St,. which has been demolished not that long ago. She later taught at Britannia Bridge.
Peter48, I wonder if you knew my Auntie and Uncle, Alice and George Parkinson? They lived in Frederick St. then Cheltenham Ave. Sadly, both died young leaving a family of six. Whether you or Kath remember these things will obviously depend on how old you are.
