Ha ha I remember the roller rink in the early 80s I used to go every week, does anyone remember the couple that danced to soft cell's tainted love in the middle of the rink?? I was only just into my teens then, they looked so cool. did you remember the skates with 4 wheels? lol were you dominion or chicago lovers?(big or small wheels) I had chicago. where have those days gone?

On one of your quiz pages (general knowledge) you ask where did the Beatles play in Wigan in October 1963. Please can you amend this - the Beatles played in Wigan (at the ABC) in October 1964, not 1963 - I know because I was there. Mary Wells was one of the supporting acts singing 'My Guy' and that song wasn't released until 1964

Does the enquiry from Diantha Sarver still accept comments? I am 79, the son of Robert Victor Swarbrick, who is featured on the site, and related to Frank Williams, the subject of her enquiry. I have tried to send her an e mail, it was returned. I have some photographs of old Wigan, and many documents, though I handed most over to 'Wigan Pier' someyears ago

great site but cant beleive what i found.i found a picture of me at low hall school in 1979 with class mates brilliant, absolutly brilliant

Brilliant site that cheers me up and makes me homesick at the same time keep up the good work. Love to hear from anyone out there who went to St Edwards primary school Scot Lane Newtown Wigan 1955/56 or St Thomas More Scot Lane Newtown 1962/63.

Great site. A window into a world my Grandfather sailed from in 1923. I was at a mates wedding on Saturday night,the brides father is frim Wigan. We chatted about a past I never knew. Thanks for a very user friendly and comprehensive site.

Fair enough Brian....Come on you Bryn lot, lets move it over eh?

eric the only electrical engineer that i remember at golborne colliery was tommy liptrott the elder brother of les but there was a benison who was in charge of all the lamproom activities in the northwest area of the ncb he used to work at the victoria colliery at standish many years ago & got promoted to lamproom engineer for the area

was'nt harold benison's brother the electrical engineer at golbourne pit?

Re the posting about he hermits house at Abbey Lakes. Would the person who posted as jgmac.Would mac stand for Mcnamara (granville perhaps) apology's if i am wrong.

eric the name you are looking for is harold benison (rocket to us lot)he used to wipe his backside with a clump of grass don·t ask me how i know that but you know what us kids used to get up to there was no privacy around the bryn kids

Ferdy, I have a Ordnance survey map printed off at Wigan history shop, it is on that, it dosn't show the railway going through bryn, i think it is 1842
