A few names that I can recall who lived at West End.
David Harker, Harry and Ambrose Mitchell, Kieth Thornley, Donald Eddleston.
Any know them?... Donald I know still lives there and is a member of this forum but have no details of the rest?

West Ender · 09-02-2009, 19:09

I knew Harry and Ambrose very well, they lived 3 doors from me and Ambrose and I are the same age. Knew Keith Thornley, who my great aunt used to child-mind, and the Eddleston family but I can't place David Harker - didn't someone say he lived at the pub?

Yes he did... he was the son of Willy Harker who played for Burnley and in his own right was a hell of a footballer who played in the Rhyddings first team at the time.....David will be around 68/69 if he is still with us?

I was friendly with Martha. We weren't "mates" but we used to knock around together occasionally. I have no idea where she is now.

I know Harry Mitchell very well, think his wifes called Corine, There was a Chap called Harker was Landlord of the Hare and Hounds in the sixties West Ender, but I'm nearly sure he was called Billy, might have had a on called David, Billy's Nephew was called Brian Philips was Steward at Ossy Con at the same time and a few of us went over there with Brian quite regularly

Thanks - will watch out for her
I haven't seen her since 1955, but I never forget a face
especially ones without eyebrows which is what she did to mine
