I would like to wish wiganers everywhere happy christmas and a fantastic new year.
dont,t forget buy a wigan monopoly for youselves.

My dad Wilf Grange did a documentary with Tommy Blackledge of the Northern Anglers Assoc. on the pollution of the River Douglas I think it was on scene at 6.30. Anybody know how I can get a copy.Also does anybody know if they are still giving the cup we donated to Northern Anglers when my dad died.It was for the Schoolboys.

Our Whosfar has been sad ever since he found out that his part of Billinge is in Wigan. We are still in PROPER BILLINGE.

Steve, I should imagine the quarries you used to swim in, in the sixties, are still near Eccleston or Mawdsly, miles from Wigan !

WHOSFAR TED , yOU MUST BE SAD

What a fantastic site love the photos. It gave my dad alot of happy memories to look back. Quite suprised there are no photos on hindley green cp being one of the oldest schools in the area. :-)

Thank you, your site has inspired me to continue re-searching our family genealogy. To actually see your first page, JOHN MASON & SONS. just blew me away. Yes. John is father of Edward [1865] his grand-daughter Eda came to New Zealand, md. Walter Bristow, three generations later all flourishing. Thank you...N.H.N.

Don, what an absolute 'Joey' you are believing the olympics story. Bert (St. Helenser) was making it up, because he says he could make a Wiganer believe anything. And, guess what, he's right ! HA HA HA HAAAAAA !

fred bryan i sent message and e-mail address via friends reunited

i think it is just a joke about the olimpic games being held in wigan . i asked around and nobody else has heard about it. i think if it was true it would have been in the papers. can anybody confirm if it is true or if its just a roomer.

re the message left by bob ohara on 25th november. i remember billy woodcock who lived in herbet street/miry lane. my family and i were evacuated to wigan from liverpool, i was 4 when we arrived there, and we were there until i was 12. i have great memories of growing up there. billy was one of my mates, as was john locke, freddie billinge, arnold lord and various others. i would love to hear from anyone who remembers the mumford family from wilcock street.

Anybody out there who used to go to All Saints Sec Mod School from 1959 to 1964.Do you remember our form teachers.I can only remember Roy Jackson Dereck Hurst and Jock Shaw who used to tell us about when he was in BURMA.

Hi Tommy,
Yes that's me.John is my youngest brother.He worked at westwood power station when he left school then went into the merchant navy and sailed the world for free.After that he worked in South Africa and then in Jeddah where he was eventually arrested and deported in a mis-understanding over a bottle of whisky.If you wish you can e-mail me at davemarsh@jerseymail.co.uk
I am away now for 7 days.

To Dave Marsh Did you have a brother John,who was in St Thomas's Scouts.Like you the name rings a bell.If you lived in York St would you know Ian Braithwaite and Alan Carter who lived in the Clayton St area.

anyone from aspull high school bout 1980-85 gis a bell.wots happened t'runners its fallin down.

If the olympics are held in Wigan the main event would probably be the Pie Throwing.
