My grandad lived in Holt Street behind this building. We called it Rozzie's Farm in the 50s and 60s. A little girl is supposed to have drowned in the moat hundreds of years ago. How wonderful to have a home with such history. Would love to have a toot.

Neil i think my brother lives in your grandfathers bungalow i remember when he bought it he said it belonged to cains the pie shop owners. All i recall is the street was unadopted then and full of potholes.

My wife Jean Coghlin lived here for 14yrs the white door was entrance to what was the cottage then and thats were her family lived on Rossbottoms farm.its changed so much from 1947

Their surname was Rosbottom. They were related to my husband.

Dave it was no 38 and the Barrow family bought it first in 1966. They had a shop on Manchester Road and died quite close together a few years back I think,. I have the bill for building it in the early 30s. It cost about 500 pounds,.
