for those that went to st augustines in billington (as did I)
My missus went there and remembers Mr Rose, she's just said that he was a boring git! I received a far superior education down the road at Clitheroe Grammar! 😉 we are always arguing where we will send our kids!
Yeah I'd heard that they had banned people going up there last year. Shame really.
It really is a fantastic area to live in. Most of my family and inlaws are dotted all over the ribble valley with me slap bang in the middle in Whalley. Its making me smile reading peoples experiences of the area!
Sorry, but someone had to type it - It's not quite Pendle, but my mother-in-law lives in Rossendale and she's a F***ing Witch!
This thread has brought back a few memories - I remember the dingy old Scout/Cub hostel in Roughlee very well indeed. Never knew it was Nutter's house though, might explain a few things!
We used to really wind up poor old Woodsmoke by pretending to be stupid city kids who didn't know where milk came from, asking him what type of horses the cattle were etc.
53rd Mount Carmel, Manchester, BTW. 🙂
From what I remember he was part of a breakaway Scouting movement - he still wore shorts and one of the old fashioned wide-brimmed hats.
I quite liked the old git, TBH.
Good times.
Downham has some really good memories for me, drives out on a Sunday with my folks when I was young. Still go back every now and then just for a sentimental wander round the churchyard.
Been up Pendle on a few Haloween's when I was younger. The hill was proper packed.
