Garswood Hall Pit in the day of old
Hey folks - as some of you know I recently set up the Garswood Remembers page - I'm finding much better as a "group" page than the format we have here for this existing page - any preferences ?
seems you can't upload files to this kind of page, so if you join any of the Garswood Remembers, Haydock or Ashton photo groups you can download "The History of Ashton in Makerfield Grammar School" by W. J. Hodgkiss
