Donate them to Accrington Library.
I wouldnt put anything that belonged to the Pals on a bonfire, I'm only refering to whats mine.
As I've mentioned in a previous post, whatever I have given to the library is printed on red paper, it won't photocopy. If people want the info, then they can spend the time writing it out, as I have done typing it.
I have just made it easier for them to find the information, which has come from dozens of sources.
Retlaw.

Red paper does not make it copy proof, just makes it slightly harder. You can just scan it and then OCR the writing into Word or some other application.
The easiest way is a colour copier.
Most of the people of Accrington don't want to get up there and do the work themselves and they don't want their Council Tax increasing to pay for the work either. Just the same as most of our green spaces. Each successive Council has cut down the Parks Department until they just don't have the man power to keep these areas how they should be.

So they planted them in 1910, it must have been PB's fault then like everything else

This could only have been the lower bit though Atarah, not the big planting ... certainly none up there when I was a girl ... YES, 1910 too early for me before anyone comments !!
Love the work outfits ...

Accrington Libraries photo copier for public use is black and white, and they are not going to let documents out of the library, so people can take them to specialist copiers. Some of my other stuff is only on DVD, so they have to pay the library, for any one page or item, depends on what their after.

I have just donated bad karma - anyone care to join me?
A bit gobby for a new comer who doesn't know anyone, its not really my style Margaret, but I'll make an exception in this case. LWA leave Walter alone
You people should listen too yourselves!!! I'm going to leave bad Karma care to join me, is this you personal site?? New comer? What, you have a little gang that meets on a Wednesday or something? People you can write and do what you want, I will try to get by with my bad karma. Oh and Renlaw, try and leave something a little more adult when you leave comments!! Next please
Your making it very plain to every one that your name is both feet, every time you open your gob you put both feet in it, who the hell do you think you are Adolf Hitler, only your opinion counts,
Best thing for you is to try your local slaughter house, they must have plenty of brains lying around which would work better than the one you already have.
Even better would be a sheep brain, then you would be able to baa all day.
Children should be seen and not heard.

There are a couple over Salmesbury way but they're on private land I think so access may not be possible. There's one near Turton and another between Rochdale and Heywood. There's also a couple near Nelson and Brierfield but dunno where exactly.anyway....
can someone tell me where the nearest pill boxes are to us, I have tried many times to try and find some local sites, but they seem mainly to been built down south .
Try this site UK Pillbox, Pillboxes, Bunkers, Anti-tank traps and other Anti-Invasion Defences built in World War 2
More adult
with your first post on the subject shows you've got to come a long way to attain that yourself, my advice is stick to sites near Portsmouth they'll probable suit the uncouthed manner you have used to a well respected gentleman on OUR site 
Has anyone got any info on how the name "coppice" or "the coppice" came about?
I realise that on the face of it that sounds like a stupid question, but hear me out
The word coppice normally refers to a managed wooded area - however, I was reading something the other day that suggested the name was in use well before the current lot of trees were planted.
A place called Coppice without any trees seems very odd, or am I missing something? Can anyone shed any light on this?
