The Birtwistles I didn't know....Alan Douglas (That's your dad?) I thought the name rang a bell but I can't bring him to mind. Brian Woodcock yes I did know.
Some of the older end who drank there then..........Ralph Thornley from the farm just over Church Kirk Bridge......Walter Henderson (My stepfather) from Park Farm...........Wilf Warren......Walt Clegg.
The younger ones would be...Jean Norris.........Stella Finch.....Norman Sumner....Brian Yates......Derek Bamber.....Kieth Mc Kenna.
The minds gone a blank.
