Phil, the Bush wasn't in Wigan it was in Belle Green Lane, Ince in Makerfield, Lancashire.

Hello.

My name’s Phill and I produce a podcast with my 90 year old mother-in-law. The podcast is called Mondays with Milly.

“Milly” (her real name is Doreen) ran the Bush Inn in Wigan for two years in the 1960s and she talks about it at-length in this episode in case anyone is interested. Here’s the link:

I think it’s a really important piece of social history and such a rich story.

You can find the podcast wherever you source your podcasts.

Thank you for maintaining this site. I’ll be sharing it with Milly.

I am posting this question here as I dont know where else to ask it. It concerns Wigan Mining & Tecnical College in the late 1940s. Does anyone who attended the college or has any knowledge remember a lecturer in mining, Ernest Mason. Ernest also wrote some books on practical mining subjects in the 1950s. Any info appreciated.

Those of us who remember Fenning's Fever Cure will remember that it contained 'Quinine', which is exactly what is in 'hydrochloroquine', which made BoJo better. Go to the blog address above for a recipe how to make your own Quinine..

I am approaching 86 yrs old next month, but this old dog likes the new format of the site. It's a long time since I lived with my Grandparents at 156 Wigan Rd at Bryn in the 1940s. The old legs are now getting weaker, but the brain still very active. I can still remember the names of some of my school mates at St Peter's Bryn and A-in-M Central School, sadly most are deceased by now.

Jim, I advise you to Contact ron@wiganworld.co.uk so you can join the site.
