Re: Clayton local history group
 

Start with this one

Re: Clayton local history group
 

Hey, thats good .. never found that one before. Just bits here, there and everywhere.

Always find the Parish Church records handy too for All Saints if you are looking for Births/Marriages/Deaths of ancestors and their addresses.

Lancashire OnLine Parish Clerk Project - Parish of Clayton le Moors

Re: Clayton local history group
 

Humph .. was a dump.. :rolleyes:

Re: Clayton local history group
 

Any place that had Johnny Kidd n Pirates on kate is real history.:)

Re: Clayton local history group
 

I have 'History of the Parish of Clayton le Moors' by Trappes-Lomax (1926) for sale in my catalogue of Lancashire books, a copy of which can be obtained by email from [email protected]. In recent years there has been one compiled- photos with captions - by a local lady. Available for sale in the library and the Town Hall.

Oh goody, will try to raise funding for a memorial plaque on the site.. :D:D

If I remember Bob, I think Alan has been sent this publication which is excellent.

Re: Clayton local history group
 

What a memory Kate, your right, got it it a couple of years ago and thanks everyone for the info, I was Baptized at St Mary's, do they have a website. The Vic had quite a history Kate, my dad used to do a bit of work when they had Boxing Matches on in the old days, Graham Nash was seen there a few times as well in the 60s , not playing just socializing, I seem to remember Johnny Kid plating there. It wasnt alwasys sleezly, only when Skinner had it.

Re: Clayton local history group
 

You sound like a cheeky little ****** Kate.

Re: Clayton local history group
 

I feel sure they are on sale in the library, in the Town hall and in Ann parkin's shop at the bottom of Burnley Rd. Puyblished by'Lancashire Books' in Accrington 01254 879606 ( Google them but be aware that there are two firms called Lancashire Books - try lancashirebooks.co.uk first)

Re: Clayton local history group
 

Seems strange that a lot of people from Clayton live abroad:tongueout i must admit though it does seem to have improved a lot down the'bottom end' didn't recognise Lower Barnes Street when I first saw it again, shame about Whalley Road between the Albion and Load of Mischeaf (or where it used to be) seem to be all takeaways. Much as I have good memories, still prefer the Isle of Man
Thanks for the offer Kate, will try online and get back if no luck
