ex-downall greener

looking for information regarding the old scene and dwelllers of this village.
I was born 1960, and lived there 24 years. Bluebell, village club (and blackpool days) and the rest.
Would appreciate someone with lots of recent and past knowledge.

oh my days.... i used to work at a shop on downall green rd.it was a newsagents/grocery shop.worked there ten years ago do you know it

hi julie i remember downall green rd where was the shop,can only remember walkers and hursts i think there was one near junction on brocsteds rd called newbiggins.

this shop was on the same side of the school or was it a church cant remember anyway it had one opposite it that was closed. it was at the bottom of the lane

bambam do you rember tracy duffy she still lives there

HI JULIEANNE THE ONLY SHOP I CAN REMEMBER ON SAME SIDE OF SCHOOL AND CHURCH WAS HURSTS, THERE WERE SOME SHOPS ACROSS ROAD FROM CHURCH,POST OFFICE AND GRANVILLES BARBERS,THANKS BAM.

There was a shop on the opposite corner to our Ladys school, is it the corner of Coronation street? There was also one further down the same street opposite the council houses.

if it wasnt a shop then it could of been a terraced house. a woman worked in it called barbara and she lived about 3 houses up from shop i think it might have been called hurst. a man called ian owned it when i worked there

HI GREEN YES I DO REMEMBER TRACY DUFFY I WAS BROUGHT UP WITH GREAT GIRL THANKS BAM.

HI NUTTY TART I THINK THE SHOP AT SIDE OF SCHOOL WAS CALLED WALKERS, AND THE ONE NEAR BROCSTEDS AVE USED TO BE NEWBIGGINS THAT WAS 25 YRS AGO,DONT Know IF ITS STILL THERE. THANKS NUTTY.

THANKS JULIEANNE HURSTS SHOP WAS JUST BEFORE THE BAD CORNER COMING FROM DOWNALL GREEN GOING TOWARDS BRYN,REGARDS BAM.

By the way, now that Downall Green is part of St.Helens, is it proper to discuss it on a Wigan site?


Downall Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!

The hill behind our Lady's,due to outcropping, Walkers shop now flats, Newbiggings shop now a house,Gerry Bentham had the first shop on Rectory Rd sold it to Ian Cheetham,the Co-Op was accross the rd,then it was bought by the Boose company, next shop on rectory was owned by Dolly Dainty, accross from that was Tommy Evans shop also a wool shop, Tumtingle.

hi tonker.
your quite right right in what you say, but i do not think rugby fans would agree, i have been a wigan fan all my life,i do not know how the greeners feel about it perhaps they will let us know, thanks tonker. bam.

thanks bent legs, i remember the co op and tommy evans, daintys shop was at side of everton st which run onto the park. the wool shop was annie deacons she had all the photos from jelly sunday in the windows, she also sold most of the out fits, short pants white pumps shirts and ties. cheers bentlegs.bam

hi tonker did you know joe :troll: as you call him. i must know this lad,where did he come from i worked doors for 20yrs bound to have met him somewhere along the line, please keep in touch. bam.

Joe lived in Ashton, behind the police station off Old Road. He worked for M*** L**** (one of the 90's crew). Last door I saw him on was Flannagans in Bryn (golden ball), with Kev 'Panda'. He was quite ill soon after and had to have surgery.

thanks tonker.
i remember kev panda but cant picture joe, i will investigate further.thanks tonker. bam.

Tonker your not doing bad with posts on a topic that you as good as say should be on a St-Helens site,
Tumtell remember the old s & s
Club,closing time in winter was 10pm we only got up pit at 10.10 pm and Jack Pye had the first shop into the 60s,

tonker you r right joe did ave surgery i think it was a brain heamorage he als got married again and is wife died young i know he as 3 smallgirls cause is brothers r bringing them up also he as a son he is about 23 he lived next door to me with joes ex wife it was sad

Dougie , remember getting a pint at anytime in the S&S, it was me that found Jack Pye when he died, his wife Olive shouted to me to look for him, i found him in the kitchen with his heart tablets in his hand, nice chap was Jack, Tumtingle,

dougie wish pit did u work at

The website is awesome Now I realy know it is the right Keven the picture on there of his Wife and him is how I remembered him. I am glad he is still playing his music. I am very sad to see his wife died she was very pretty and I am sure a very sad loss for him how lovely that he did the art work in memory of his wife Pat bought me to tears. You have gone above and beond helping here and I thank you very much I hope he gets to go on line I would like his input on Loraines music I realy loved listening to Kevin play and sing when we was young His family was very nice to me growing up I loved going to their very warm and loving home

That sounds good lanky, no doubt it would be fun.

Well late here waiting for Loraine and family to get here going to stay up

Anyone any info on past landlords of bluebell, when i started boozing it was arthur williams. best known as {cracker}.

bambam Arthur lives in Ashton on Bolton rd across from telphone exchange was talking to im a few weeks ago, by the way he as a white stick now,he was going round the club singing 50s/60s did he ever give you song in the Bell,

Nowie Ashton was the first landlord that I remember 40s (not to have a drink from lol)he moved to the Lifeboat Pub at Blackpool in the 50s

Owd Nowie Ashton , Jimmy Seddon, Arther Williams , Peter Sharples dont know the later ones,Tumtingle

cheers guys,was'nt jimmy seddon the one who cracked up i remember pete sharples, billy lowe, peter jones. do not know recent ones though.

Now you mention it dougie, i think arthur did sing in bell from time to time, i remember charlie grimshaw playing piano in there.

This is my very first post so here goes.
I lived in Hawthorn Ave from 1948 at age 2 till I left home at 21.We were the first tenants in the council house and looking back we were so lucky to have these fantastic homes.They had a lot going for them.
The people I knew in the street included the Atkinsons, the Fairhursts, the Athertons, the Mcphersons, the Ainscoughs,the Wildes, the Prescotts, the Smiths, the Tattoms, and the Lawtons. Lots of others too numerous to mention.
I went to the Rectory school till 1957 and then to Ashton secondary modern till 1961.
Could anybody hazard a guess as to who I am?

I'll bet that you are John Davies

Am i right? pmsl

Made a mistake dougie, it was george grimshaw not charlie as i said earlier sorry for that.

Hi jondav, i know all the names you mentioned, i was born 1960 and lived in elm ave round corner from you, i don't suppose you were related to bill davies or his son barry.

Wecome to Wiganworld JonDAy

jondav my brother and his wife lived in Hawthorne Ave with his in laws,the partingtons his name was Jack and his wifes name was Olga

Bambam remember George from the 50s very good piano player didn't know his name was Grimshaw,would play in the village club in the afternoons for a good hour after coming from the Bell just for the love if it,

Dougie was his last name Martindale because the pianist in Bryn Club round about that time was a fellow wi that name

You are correct Nutty Tart. Who might you be?
Bambam I'm not related to Bill & Barry, but I used to know them. Wasn't there a sister Lynn?
Lanky, thanks for the brilliant welcome.
