Spitfire found!

Reported in the Observer this week 4th Oct 2005. A BL 585 of 308 squadron crashed whilst on a training flight in 1942.
It has been unearthed near to the Woodshaw pit heap just off Wigan Road. The remains will go
on display at RAF Millom Aviation and Military museum at Haverigg in the lakes.


 


 

The Running Horses...

pub is due for demolition.
It is proposed that more apartments be built on the site.
Maybe it would be more in keeping with the rest of the village if a courtyard with stone cottages with gardens were built.

The pub is really getting trashed now.
Maybe there is a problem with planning??

Planning permission has now been approved for flats and parking areas.
