Re: The Gobbin Lamp

Albert Wilkinson/Mike Booth place the site of the lamp near where the library is now, and suggest a reason as to why those who lived above were Gobbiners. Though they offer no photographic evidence.

Why we're so very proud to be Gobbins! (From The Bolton News)

People still refer to the top and bottom of Ossy.

That's because of the mainly dowhill gradient, from Moor End down to Church.

Local myth is that the meandering route of the main road was laid down after following the path of a runaway pig.
