Lock St, Oswaldtwistle
Does anyone have any photos of Lock St, Oswaldtwistle?

It's currently St Mary's parish centre and I'm particularly looking for any pictures of the history of it. So, any parties, brownies, cubs etc that were held there.

Any memories that you might have as well.

Plus, before it was the parish centre, when it was the weavers institute, would be fantatic. Thanks

There's mention of the folk nights held there, on this site.

It's pictures I really want along with personal memories of nights spent there, if anyone has any.

Sorry, I thought his memories, plus the names of local people mentioned, might have give you a start.

Thanks, sorry, wasn't being dismissive. I used to go to the folk nights myself, they were great fun.

I'm just hoping that someone unearths some really old photos from way back.

Doh, I know that.

You are looking for AW member's memories.

Personally I only ever went to one do there, Dylan Owen's mum's 80th birthday party, but I do know some older ladies who went to the Monday night club there until recently. I'm seeing one tomorrow, and will ask if she has any old photographs of their time there.
