Big_Jeff_Leo Posted October 27 Author Share Posted October 27 School Brow (pictured above) was the road in Rainford from Pasture Lane to the Derby Arms. By 1923 it had become part of Church Road but people still called the bend School Brow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Jeff_Leo Posted November 5 Author Share Posted November 5 Rosbotham's school (pictured above) was located in Higher Lane in Rainford and was so named because in 1847 shoemaker Daniel Rosbotham had given the Congregational Church the land to build their Sunday school 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Jeff_Leo Posted November 5 Author Share Posted November 5 No doubt in this modern age of technology I would suspect that Mobile Phones alone and internet posts will form a very comprehensive vault. added 1 minute later The thing that interests me is just how many old photo's might there be out there in lofts and garages. And sadly how many have been binned during house clearances?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Gt Aunt had a large oval framed photograph of her mother, sat on a garden bench, on the wall in the front room. She moved to a council bungalow and sold all the old fashioned furniture and picture too. My aunt had a copy of the same oval photo but with just the mount and no frame. When she died I cleared the house and the photo wasn't there, yet there were hundreds of others. My gt gran obviously doesn't want to be seen. . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Great photo Hort. Once more the traffic is on the wrong side of the road. Health and safety at work (ladder being secured). Fascinating to think my grandparents could be in the picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 My mother was born in 1901 and she had an older brother and sister so my grandparents must have been at least 10 around the time the photo was taken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
