Not heard nothing about building property up there Malc, I'm surprised they've not put more houses when they built surgery on farmer Hunts corn field.

Bambam when the Quaker pit was working they had to pump a lot of water from their workings, Some of the workings must have been towards the fields behind Birch Grove and that land was full of shifting sand and every so often the ground would open up like small sink holes.

Oh right, so that would explain why it's not been built on, I know it got flooded at the dip in Birch grove for many years, right outside my grandparents facing the allotments.

Replied: 13th Jul 2023 at 19:58

Posted by: PeterP (11804)

Bambam there was at one time 3 shafts which were fenced off on LGR one on the left and two on the right just past Redgate road, Again with the Quaker pit pumping water out and the shafts sinking exposing the top of them, Probably only back filled with soil and rubble when they had been finished with. When they were building the houses on Victoria Road the digger exposed a shaft on the right hand side so they did not put a house there but put a footpath through to Hamilton Road instead.

I put it on Malc because Bri has had enough distress lately with losing so many members of his family, Bri always informs us as to what's happening on estate and he rang me to tell me about Jack so it's only right for someone else to give the sad news out, poor lads been through enough lately.

Shortly after the Fultons took up residence in Downall Green road they had new next door neighbours, newly weds Joan and George.
When they found out that that the young couple hadn’t been able to afford a honeymoon they promptly gave them enough money to have a honeymoon to remember.
Sometime later George was front page news when he was a union leader and organiser of a strike at the Vulcan loco works. Death threats he received were taken seriously by the authorities leading to special branch staying at their home and monitoring their telephone. I got the story first hand from Joan a long time member of Park Lane chapel.

Unfortunately people grieve in their own way and maybe do not want relations (except immediate family) present at a funeral. There are more and more cremations where there is no ceremony or there is a service for up to a dozen people to be present just to pay their respects with or without a priest/vicar/celebrant in attendance. I don't think this reflects badly on any relatives in any way it is the wish of the close family. If and when My wife passes away she has told me she wants a simple ceremony at Holy Trinity(her family church) and to be interned there and does not want any one outside the family to knowAt this time it is a strange request but if that is what she wants I will at this time not go against it.

Hello, from a fellow ‘Downall Greener!’ I used to live here many years ago. In fact I used to have a small Hill named after me. In fact when I ‘left’ Gustavus Hillock, as it became known to the not so many locals, they decided to place a church on top of it, due to my name meaning ‘gods staff’. It’s great to see the old church still standing proud albeit it has changed since I ‘left’. It would be nice to see a plaque or similar on the church wall saying Gustavus Hillock. The name Gustavus Hillock is still recognised on that ‘google’ thing. It would be good for the locals to always remember. Regards to you all. Gustavus. (My father was Latvian)

Gustavus I understand what you are saying, but for years i myself thought it was named after the surrounding area which had two large wooded areas covered in bluebell flowers, I know there are many pubs called the bluebell in North west with no flowers In sight, so it makes it very interesting.

Replied: 3rd Oct 2023 at 00:34

With regards, you can go back and take a look at the pub sign on any age of old photos and you will see it ALWAYS depicts a Bell. NEVER Bluebells as in the flower. Ask yourself why is this, if the pub was named after the flowers?
Yes, you and obviously others have grown up believing it was the flowers. You or anyone else has no evidence of this. Only presuming and hearsay. Downall Greeners must come across as a bit stupid to paint a Blue Bell on EVERY pub sign ever made over the years if it is actually named after the Bluebell flower. As I said history has it that there is a church or once been a church close by all Blue Bell pubs. Denoting a ‘Gunmetal Blue’ Bell that would be in the nearby church. Pubs named ‘The Bell’ I guess would have a bell made of something else other than Gunmetal. If the bell isn’t in the church now, it would have been originally. Could have got damaged and removed over time. Not impossible for a very old bell. As for the flowers, it seemed a logical thought because there was s lot of them around. But illogical to then paint a ‘Blue Bell’ on every pub sign ever painted. Ding Dong.

IF it once had a picture of a bluebell (flower) during its many changes, then why did that then revert back to a Blue Bell? Most probably someone had informed them that ‘Bluebells’ as in the flower was wrong!. Why did the sign not continue along its way with the flower?. You’ve only got hearsay and by presuming it was named after the flowers. Whereas the ‘Blue Bell’ pubs and nearby church is referenced to quite a few times in literature. Also other pubs named the Blue Bell as I know of, do indeed have a church close by. These are all facts and not imagination.
Once a Blue Bell regular, not any more. I was born/bred on the estate. A true Downall Greener, if born/bred classifies as one. Was in the Blue Bell after a funeral not too long ago. Regards.

There was two pubs there, Lord Nelson and Colliers Arms. It was in the early 1800's though, before Station Road and Garswood Road existed. In fact, they might have been before Garswood existed.

Mid 1800's, Station Road was Strange Lane and Garswood was Seneley Green.

I remember there being a fall out in the pubs because the lager glasses held a dead pint and the craze was to have a pint of lager and lime. This was OK till the bar staff started charging for the lime so you were paying for a pint of lager plus lime but were getting a short measure with the lager. One or two bar staff were threatened with trading standards/weights and measures. People got round this by ordering lime in a separate glass then having a sip of the lager and putting the lime into the glass. The bar staff were not happy because it created more washing up

BamBam, Greenall’s was a St.Helens brewery, and they had a lot of Wigan houses.
The reason I said the Bell would’ve shut if Greenall’s had bought it is that Greenall’s ale was vile!
You could always tell a Greenall’s house, by the smell, and St.Helens used to smell like that before the brewery shut in 1975 !

A lot of Greenall's pub ended up has Boddingtons pubs but the ale never improved. Some landlords/ladies could keep a good pint but far and few between What amazed me was The Oddfellows The Britannia Bryn Labour Club and the Star where all Greenall's pubs/club and were serviced by the same dray wagon but charged different prices for their ale. The Oddfellows even charged a different price depending which side of the pub you used

When do you reckon Bell hit its peak and then start to decline? I tend to think it went downhill after they opened it all up and took away the games room. But then again I’ve seen the pub quite packed many a time when it was opened up and there’s be a Wigan v Saints game on. Or a United game on. Dya think it was down to em letting kids in and letting em run wild. I don’t know! Only for the pub football team being based there it would probably have declined much sooner.

The only way to make money these days is to have a free house then you can negotiate the barrel price, in my opinion all day opening ruined the pubs as they turned to food allowing children in, most men go pub for a quiet pint and chat they don't want uncontrolled kids running around everywhere, there is a pub in wigan town centre who don't allow kids in and it's very busy day and night with people who appreciate a quiet pint, there was a pub in king st west when all day boozing started that actually had a pram park, I know most of drinkers would give it a wide birth, I certainly would.

I used to like that "Caines's" !

I've had a really nice bitter in a pub in Limoges, France, called O'Brians Tavern, , well, it's not just like bitter, but it's proper good , strong too!, and it's called "Murphy's Irish Red". Beltin' !



A pint of Murphy's Irish Red, this morning!

I’ve always been a Lager drinker over the years, but have recently become accustomed to Guinness. A lovely drink if you get it from the right places
With pubs/beer as the topic, it got me thinking. I feel quite lucky to have lived in the years that I have. Great memories and times with fellow Downall Greeners over them years. We all mostly knew everyone on the estate. Knew where they all lived. Mixed with nearly all of them. Fantastic times, club trips, Christmas treats from the club as a kid, walking day/ jelly Sunday, pram race, boozing and chatting, in The Bell, Village Club and S and S, on a mini Downall Green pub crawl.
Now, imagine how it’s going to be in the future, and it’s started already. Both Clubs gone! Walking Day gone! No trips or Christmas treats for the kids. All the shops closed and gone, that we used to shop and chat in! One drinking hole left that is balancing on a cliff edge!…Talk of Church closing!
Where will people get to know each other? It’ll be that you’ll only know your immediate neighbours! All living life indoors! All strangers in the same village!
All the great things we had all wiped away! So so sad!
They’ll only get to know anyone who lives in their mobile phone, where everyone spends their lives every day!
So happy I lived through the great Downall Green times!

Can't see why gus won't confide in us I was proud to have grown up on the estate as he probably was, but he's right so much has changed I like yourself knew where everyone lived and the place was very friendly, but since old greeners have passed people have moved there from all over surrounding districts, I'm so glad I can still reminisce and remember the wonderful people and famalies I grew up with.
