As for 4 generations per 100 years, my grandfather was born in 1852 in Baxenden, thats 160 years ago.

i remember the one at end of hyndburn road, now that place could put the willies up ya!, remember as a lad daring mates to cut through, over the old rusty iron railings, and the long ago mawn grass, through all of the cracked stones, pitch dark
