I mean this with respect. Is their anyone who was related to Alan Douglas of Church/Accrington? Specifically are you a son or daughter? If you are and where born between 1945 and 1970 I would be interested in talking to you. I know of later siblings, but I remember meeting a lad in the Duke of...

During the 1939-1945 world war my grandparents worked in either munitions or war equipment production in Coventry. My grandfather Thomas "Tommy" Douglas was an Iron Moulder by trade, my grandmother Rachel was in the mills prior to the outbreak. As most of you know from your own families these...

Wow, just spent a couple of hours going back over ten years via the (My Threads / My Replies) tab. I can't remember posting some of that stuff but I've some keen memories of some fantastic people and very funny exchanges, some gut churning reads (don't believe I could be such a dick at times...

Peter on tonight's Late Kick Off, nice chap; say's we're staying up. Not seen it all, but I believe him. :)

I can Visualise small clearings within the trees (preferably native ones) at key points with full access; within these clearings and on the top of...

Hello.

Why? I can't really see how this is going to work old cock. I don't dislike the idea of using the coppice for a backdrop for art; but these images don't do it for me. If you want to do something like this I'd like to see something that reflects the history of the area or at leased something that...

I'll try and get over for this. I was in town on Weds and I was over in Blackburn today. Don't get long on the ground but it will be worth the trip. Thanks Retlaw. P.S. of the 21/2 Thousand Accrington men; do you have any Douglas's?

Proud history.
