It's a long time since I visited the site I saw somewhere on the site about Irene Howard I went to Woodnook Secondary with Irene & we were pals,if I'm requesting this in the wrong place SORRY

I went out with an Irene Howard from Huncoat, but I think she attended Hyndburn Park. She married Andrew Nuttall (RIP)and became landlady of the Stop & Rest She will now be 71 or 72.

I welcome Sean's first posting and underlying pride in Woodnook - especially as his family are intertwined with mine. He may not be aware of it, so I am sending him his first private message (PM)

Hi Margaret, Would the surname be Duxberry? (sorry if misspelt). I used to live at No 5 Rothwell Ave and used to hang out Ma Mick, James and John from Rileys Hill.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes Malcolm...I was called Duxbury in the dim and distant past.
Malcolm, I don't think I know you.....but then there were many of my brothers pals that I didn't know.

And Sean.....I was drifting off to sleep last night and not thinking of anything when tha name of your brown dog popped into my head...It wasn't Beezer....and it didn't even begin with B. It was Topper.....or at least that is my memory.

[Margaret Pilkington]
