there were 2 little bridges, 1 at the bottom of Park view, and the other, was as you say near to factory fold, it ran underground just in front of the old Star Pub, this had been made into 3 houses, the Seddons lived at the front, the Toothills in the next part, then the Crompton family, after that it was factory fold in which my cousins Doreen Norman Frank and Linda lived, (Norman and Frank you should know very well) !!
