What Page Interested You Most:	Summerseat
Comments:	Came upon this site by chance. Excellent, still working my way through it. I was born and raised in Higher Summerseat and as a schoolboy I used to deliver newspapers all over Summerseat. All the place names and photos have brought back many memories of my childhood in the 1950s. I still recall what was then known as Dolly Tub Row on Railway Street and all the houses around Hall Street, sadly all now gone. Dolly Tub Row actually had to be demolished because the Irwell River that ran along the back had undercut the foundations. The same thing happened to the COOP and the Church that stood at the end of Railway Street opposite the entrance to Robin Road. I recall taking papers to Lammy Bank at the end of Robin Road, once owned by the actress from Coronation Street who placed Lucille Hewitt. My Grandparents lived just over Nutter Brew near to the mill that once stood at the very end of Nuttal Lane, next to the farm. My parents when first married lived in a cottage in Wood Road and later moved to the new Heath Avenue Estate that was built in the late 40s,50s. I also delivered milk to Hoyles Mill when it was still a going concern and well remember the weaving and spinning sheds. As a toddler I was often left in the creche as they are now called, in the works Canteen, now the Waterside Pub, by my mother who worked in the mill. I can still recall the 7am Mill Hooter and again at 5pm when shortly afterwards the Charabanc full of workers would make its way up the very narrow twisting road past Peel Hall and up to Newcombe Road and beyond. As you can tell from my posting, the site has brought back many memories. Who can recall St Winifreds Tin Church. The shop in the Brick Houses and the Post Office on Railway Street not far from the butchers shop that stood at what is now the entrance to the Garden Center. Catching the train up to Rawtenstall to visit the Astoria on Saturday night to watch the Four Pennies and others......the 21 Steps next to Peel Hall, wonderful memories, many thanks for triggering them. Regards Geoff P.

Comments:	I am interested in local history. I live in Brandlesholme and come from Cheshire originally. The industrial history around here is interesting as I used to live in the mill town of Macclesfield. Now I want to find out all about the growth of the towns and villages in this area. Your web-site is fascinating, thank you so much. The engraving of the mills at Summerseat is particularly interesting to see.

Comments:	Wonderful Site. I lived off Newcombe Road at Fernview Drive for six years in the eighties, and saw the old chapel with crucifix at the rear of Peel Hall before it was vandalised. I have always liked Summerseat and its surrounding Moors, and I played a part in saving Holcombe Moor from military expansion in the nineteen eighties, as Chairman Of The Greenmount Civic Society. Also involved with the East Lancs Railway Project. Your Photos on the Site are superb, Well done to you. A World Class Site indeed.
Surnames I am Researching:	I recommend the Lancashire Rootsweb Mailing list for free assistance on family history research & census look ups. I would like to see some photos of the viaduct in the woods behind Hoyles Mill put on the site, and also NABBS FOLLY near Higher Summerseat before it disappears. I learnt recently that Lowry visited Tower Farm in Greenmount and based one of his paintings on this.

Comments:	What a brilliant site - inspiring ! I found your link on the Lancsgen mailing list. I have an interest in Summerseat as my Grandparents used to live there in the 1970's and early 80's. I remember many happy afternoons playing in their garden with my cousins. Mum would go and visit when she was carrying me and did tapestry upstairs. The house was on the corner of Laura Street and that's where my name came from.

NOTICE

My name is Jane James and we are researching my partners family tree (Richardson) when we looked in Dave’s mums document box we found a 1^st world war victory medal for Alfred T Ward who was a corporal in the royal artillery. His number is 73768 and he served from 1914 to 1920.

I have found his medal card at the national archives and hope to get his service record soon.

Both Dave and I would love to find any relatives of Alfred’s so we can reunite them with this very special medal.

Please use the EMAIL button to contact me.

Thank you

Ann
