Great site! Just decided to look on the web for
any info on my grandparents home region and found it all fascinating. My
dad got interested too- he could remember my grandparents talking of people
mentioned in the stories on this site. I suppose there may be people still
local who remember my grandparents, aunts and uncles. Any stories or
memories would be interesting to hear of. My grandad moved to Yorkshire
with the family in the 60s. His name was Richard (Holmes) and grandma was
called Margaret (Wilson), the large family consisted of Richard, David,
John, Peter, Paul, James, Helen and Margaret.

Hello, My name is Ann Bland, maiden name Riding.
I am researching my family tree, and by means of various censuses, have
gained quite a bit of information about the Riding family. Can anyone tell
me where Moorside is? I would be interested to hear from any Riding still
living in the village. My mother, who is almost 95, still lives in the
village. My father was Thomas (Tom) Riding, and we used to live in Chapel
Lane.
Many thanks in anticipation. Ann Bland, nee

Dear Sir/Madam
Sorry to bother you but I was wondering of you
could help me. When I was a child I lived at 179 Liverpool Old Road, at the
time it was a business called 'Day Old Chicks' or nicknamed 'The Hatchery'.
Adjacent to the house was the site of a windmill. Im not sure if you are
aware but the house was haunted by the old miller. I can vouch 100% as I saw
him several times as did my father, visitors and people who lived across the
road. I was wondering if you have any information on the property as I have
searched all over and cant even find it listed anywhere. A few years back I
visited the library an managed to get a photograph but its taken after the
sails were dismantled. The ghost Ily (that's what we nicknamed him) was a
friendly one, he just wandered around like he still lived there. He hated
any alterations being done to the house though and I often travel past and I
see there has been some serious refurbishment. I wonder if he caused them
any trouble HA HA. I hope you do have maybe a little information on it, or
even of the friendly ghost.
Yours sincerely
Alexandra Linford

Hi, just having a rare browse through the site,
saw folk moaning about lack of parish council minutes.
Av they got something to hide, is asked?
No they haven't. Come down any time on the
meeting nights, you'll be made most welcome. You could even join in and give
your tuppence worth. Minutes are published a month in arrears to allow them
to be approved and signed. If you can't wait for them on the net, they are
on hard copy in the Library.
When the next councillor vacancy comes up, put
your name down for it and you too can get something done for the village!

I have ancestors who lived in the Longton/Hutton/ Croston/ Penwortham area going way back into the 1600s though I cannot prove much beyond Edward and Mary Tassiker who lived there in the early 1800s.Edwards father Henry was born in Croston. It is quite wonderful to see pictures of the area which probably hadn't changed much since their day. Thank you to whoever constructed the site and also whoever maintains it. well done. | |

The reason being the Longton telephone exchange has not been upgraded to ADSL, which will provide broadband capabilty. Broadband provides a internet connection up to 40 times faster than a conventional modem. The exchange will only be upgraded to broadband capability when 400 people have registered there interest. Currently only 83 people have registered. The exchange serves Longton, Hutton, Much Hoole, New Longton and Walmer Bridge. With all these villagers being potential broadband subscribers I am hoping to bring to their attention the fact that the exchange has not and will not be upgraded until we have 400 registrants showing a 'potential' interest. Broadband will bring many benefits to the community it serves. Help us all out by taking time out to register and pass this mail onto any other internet users you know in this area (both friends and family) It takes less than 2 minutes and costs nothing to register your interest. We need another 317 people to register their interest. Thanks for your time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Register your interest for Broadband here www.btopenworld.com/broadband/reg10 SORRY FOR THE LONG POST | |

Located behind the new Redrow developement off School Lane. I belive the bowling club was founded in 1922 does anyone have any historical information or pictures?. Club details need to be added to the Longtononline web site. | |
