Re: Hyndburn Local History Society.

Thank you Retlaw ... think I will forgo that tasty (not) little treat. :)

Whilst I have got your attention ... have you ever seen any old 'photos of the Shoulder of Mutton, Ossy anywhere ? Internet/my book stock searching not coming up with one ... may have to visit the library.

You mean Lancashire Lantern ? There is a very old one there I had noticed showing Cross Edge ... and reference to The Shoulder, but can't see that it is actually in the picture. It also says you cannot buy or download !

Thank you for your most unusual help ... :D

Not sure if this is the right picture but it's from a collection of old oswaldtwistle photographs which I recently saw.

'Shopping in the 1930's'

Speaker: Mr. Norman Hindley.
Bolton.

Weather permitting of course. Will post if gets cancelled.

Heard this gentleman speak on 'The Little Palace:Home in the 1930's'last year.
He is extremely entertaining linked with an excellent knowledge.
Even if you weren't around in the 1930's, you will relate to some of this nostalgic social history.

Will you be giving a talk on your memories of that era Kate:hidewall::hidewall::hidewall::hidewall::D
