Pemberton pics...

A brilliant painting,you can almost feel the cold.

I'm scratching my head wondering where in Pemberton this is.

It's just on the corner...

Those door lintels remind me of Toxteth

It could well be, Naughty Mitten.

Artist Sandra Ford is from Liverpool, England and now lives in Florida.

Guess?

Admin would that have been " The Queens". emporium , where young girls used to take me on the back row and try and kiss me . ( but I'd run home to my mum ) ( I was only 27 at the time ).( slow developer ).

Spot on, Nordic.

Those passionate girls used to do that me also...

I wonder where they are now though.....

I've still got chapped lips

Ahhhhh...The girls of Norley were the best...Yes?

I know that Nordic and Lolly will recognise these places....





My heart jumped when I saw these, (Credit to Facebook) as they brought back so many good memories.....

Spent many happy hours waiting for a glimpse of a young man who lived down there.

Ooooh Ah.....

Lolly awwww.:

Pit ponies, Pemberton. 1910?

Bless em.

Lolly I really enjoyed the " Brook Lane " memories. It is described just as I remember it . Thank you .

I remember the tree, and walking down near the railway line, I seem to remember coming out somewhere near Leopold Street

past triangle valve.

Lolly if you walked down Brooke Lane to the old cottages at the bottom . ( I remember that the front garden didn't have a fence , it was made up of slabs of slate held together with metal plates ). if you turned left down that path with the stream and the railway line on your right , you eventually came to the tunnel the man mentioned in the article , which let the stream go under the railway line . A short distance passed that was a level crossing with sleepers down for walking.. Turning right and crossing over the line the path led towards Pony Dick bridge , with Summersale Colliery on the left and the stream on the right . We then used to cross the stream , and enter "Long Wall" through a hole where the wall had fell over .Going back to the level crossing , if you turned left there , then you went over the " Wimpey" ( Wimp), and over Leapold Street and between Triangle Valve factory buildings , over a little railway track that joined the two factory buildings .
That's how I remember it ........but ????

PS. It was you the Maureen who left her bike outside the nick , and me walking into it in the dark .....................those brake levers were very sharp !!!!!!!

That's exactly how I remember it, nordic. At 15 my first job was as an apprentice at Triangle Valves.

Thanks for the memories....
