A night out in the Red Lion in the 1960's for Jimmy Fagan from Highbrooks, North Ashton Tony Harrison (clogs) from Leyland Green Road North Ashton, Joe Gorner (red Joe) from Cocks Lump, and Young Bill Hodkinson from Cranberry Ley Farm North Ashton. The Red Lion was Jimmy's local in those days and he would make his way down there what ever the weather he has even been known to walk down Waggon Road with a candle in a jam jar when it has been thick with fog. Sadly the Red Lion is now a private house.
