I was volunteering in the Oxfam shop this morning when the manager showed me some old(ish) pamphlets about Prescot. I borrowed them to scan & here's the first. The council's official guide for sometime in the early 60's (I'm guessing the date from data included in the booklet.) They'll be going on sale in the shop when I've finished with them so, if anyone's interested, I'll post details then. Here's the link (it's a cbr file, you'll either need to find a comic book reader or rename the extension from .cbr to .rar to extract the images) https://www63.zippyshare.com/v/NCwW6Fnb/file.html (N.B. the file will be deleted 30 days after the most recent download so don't hang around) Larger versions of some of the pages with images Street plan The rest of the booklets are much more recent apart from a copy of "The Prescotian" (the Grammar School Magazine) for 1965 so that's the next project.

I hope you got that swimming dog to sign a release before sticking its picture on here, otherwise, you could find yourself in serious trouble.It will only be a matter of time before one of "those" people spots it, and as the PPI thing is coming to an end they're bound to be looking for a new scam, I can just see it now. There'll be adverts appearing in veterinary surgeries and on tv all over the country, "hey Fido, does your owner leave you alone all day, have they banned you from sitting on the couch? you could be entitled to compensation. "hey pussycat, does your owner lock the catflap at night to keep you in, do they make you wear a bell to prevent you catching birds? you too could be entitled to compensation. Pets everywhere, were you quietly minding your own business when some bloke took your picture without permission? Call us now, we're so desperate to make money, we'll sue anyone for the most ridiculous thing, call us NOW!

My grandparents had an Anderson shelter, they lived in Portico estate, he dug it up after the war and made it into a shed and the entrance into a coal storage.

A bit of frivolous fun. Have you had anyone interesting popping up in it? Latest one for me was Emily Bronte. Previous ones to that were Jon Hamm (never heard of him - and ditto a few of those that follow) Mitt Romney, Kevin Bacon (which did look a bit credible), Gregg Toland, Philo T. Farnsworth, Lizzie Borden, Anna Turthill Harrison, Lyman Beecher, William Blake, James Cook, Aaron Burr, Abigail Fillmore, and Charles Laughton (!).

The wheatsheaf, the place has suffered that much subsidence, you run to the bar and then climb back to your seat.

Yes my family moved here in the 80's and I've lived here ever since, although my parents have moved back and live in Scotland now. added 3 minutes later Hi Artyfarty I don't , I'll see if i can get hold of a copy and give it a read. So far I've only run South African races but hope to one day take part in some of the "bucket list" races around the world.
