I think that's a bit further up stream.

They used to make the dam for swimming at 'Little Blackpool' a bit further down, under a small copse of trees.

Nice photographs though.

If anyone does get a copy of this dvd, it shows hundreds enjoying the Ossie 'seaside', in the long hot summer of '76.

So where are you talking about then? can't be much further up than the bridge off Rhoden Rd??
The pics are where we used to go.
Glad the video was 76, I won't be on it

Straying off topic a little here but it was same down the Dunkenhalgh on hot days like today, hundreds there beside the river on what i remember were nice flat grassy areas, thats gone the same now, did the local council look after these areas then?

This is where we'd been prior to coming past "little Blackpool"

Lovely walk on a Sunday morning, through Rhyddings park, down the allotments, through the fields towards pot house lane, round jack-House res, through pine forest, back round other side of res, round by Proctors farm towards Rhoden Rd, back through allotments and a well earned rest and some Guinness in the stop n rest, back through park trying to find that damn woodpecker that makes all the noise but I can never find it, then home - for a beer or two

Lordy lordy, the pine forest. I loved that place although we were always told that it was out of bounds and had some kind of security. My dad used to tell me tales of swimming with mates in the Jack-House and making rafts with doors and oil drums.

the pine for forest was useless... no wld life ..nowt..you could take a yer latest chick up there to impress and try tonking in the woods ..but you always had the feeling someone was wathcin !
