wobblybob Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Could it be the main waterpipe that follows Rivington Avenue / Road / Street from Rivington Pike ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Jeff_Leo Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Not sure bob, is that a pub in the background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobblybob Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Certainly a pub. Looks familiar but could be any old corner pub of the day. looks newer than the houses nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRANK Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Rivington aqueduct was constructed in the mid 19th century wasn't it? The date on the pic says 1955. I suppose they might be repairing it, but the pipe visible looks like a concrete sewer pipe rather than a cast iron water pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 That pub sign always struck me as a half-arsed compromise between correct English and Lancashire/St Helens dialect. It should surely have been "Bird in th'and" or "Bird i' th'and" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kizzy Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I admired those old church's around St Helens when I was young. They were impressive and stately. Never was allowed inside one though - it was banned for us catholics to enter a church which was not of the catholic faith. Shame really... I looked on them as something grand and impressive but never was brave enough to set foot inside. By the time I plucked up the courage they'd nearly all been knocked down 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffordshire's Labour In Vain pub in racism row over historic sign | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK A small village in Staffordshire is fighting to keep the name of their local pub and its original signage which shows a black boy being scrubbed in the bath by a white couple.
