It's Hindley Hall, not Hindley Green
Weer dus awe t'ducks go in Winter

It's summat wi owt ter look in ter
Afore t'watter gets frozzen wit cowd
Dus t'Council remove um ter safety
Un gi um o tempery wom
Er dus some folk find um reet tasty
Un roast um in o big pon?
Wist after look in ter this matter
Un a dare say they'll after bi fond
Cos when th'ice turns back inter watter
Wist need summat floatin' on't pond

Good to see that it is still here and being maintained, a great many of the grand houses that were around Wigan have long since gone.
Well Gary, I understand every word, great to read Lanky again, cheers Dennis, lovely little poem. ast'avert gooer naeu, tae un toast ready, sithi marra.
In 1905 the Club was formed by Wigan Coal & Iron Company as a private Golf Club ‘For senior members of staff and invited guests only.’
Initially a 9 hole course but increased to 18 by 1910.
In the mid 1930’s the Course became the private Golf Club as it is known today.
Whilst a thriving golf club the Hall and course was still owned by the Leigh-Pemberton family. By 1983 the head of the family was Sir Robin Leigh-Pemberton, a former chairman of The National Westminster Bank and then Govenor of The Bank of England. Amicable negotiations enabled a change of ownership to the members who still run the club today.
Info from the Hindley Hall Golf Club.
Gary it is Lanky dialect or 'Wiganese' which is pretty much dying out now! Very clever Dennis....I have wondered where pigeons go -very rare to see a dead pigeon.
As for a Yorkshire mon, well er!
Born and bred Yorkshire folk talk like that all the time!
Yes it is dying out Vb and about time too!
Garry a born and bred Wiganer!
Garry, do you get invited to many parties?
Yes Dennis I do, and I'm always the main man...Is that an invite lol.
Nice poem Dennis. Great to see the lovely Hindley dialect.
If Corbyn gets his way our next Generation will all be speaking French or German. Nice one Dennis proper Spring View talk.
