We used to live in Roseneath, Smithy Lane. Me my parents moved to Kent just over two years ago due to my Dad's new job. Matt lives in Birkdale with his Girlfriend Emma. I'm at college at the moment but hoping to move back up north, and go to edge hill to study nursing sometime next year. Mum and Dad both work for a big Pharmeceutical company called Pfizer which is based in a town called Sandwich. I can't believe it's been 2 years since we moved from Holmeswood we had a good few years living there (8 years), and miss it very much.

We sent one and have others, relating to Walter Southworths where Tommy Meadows, (my father) worked all his life. Maybe it can make a comeback if the council and buisness show a little interest, hi to all who knew us in Highsands Ave Rufford, 25 yrs ago!!! Sent: 1.49 PM - 10/3 Teenage Years Remembered I came to live in Holmeswood, Many years ago, Moving from another village, With a family in tow. There wasn't much to do here As I didn't know a one, But I soon knew Edie Bolton And also Brian, her son. A farmer, Ronnie Rimmer, Lived down Sandyway And Bob and Gladys Rimmer, Who I saw day to day, Also the Dawes, who lived Near Polly and Jem, There was Bertha Smith And Alan, I lived near to them. The Pilkingtons and the Parkers At Mere Farm End, Mrs. Moss and Margaret Ellen, Who lived around the bend, There were Tunks and Harrisons, Who lived the other side, The Caunces and Bambers, Who with their families did abide. I soon made some friends, We would ride off on our bikes Up Bannister Brow, or Mere Sands For our hikes, There was Dave Shadwell And Gilbert and Ronald Walker too, Bob, Ted and Joan Bamber, Just to name a few. There was football on the field, Down the Meanygate Or swimming near the pump house, Often till late, We played tennis on the courts, Or watched the adults bowl, Or walked to see men fishing, Near the old snig hole. On fine summer evenings there Was another place to go, The cafe at Mere Brow, A wooden building and low, There was a bench outside Where we could sit and chat Or go inside in bad weather, We were grateful for that. There was Spider and Derek, Elaine and Jean And anyone else who wished To be seen, Jimmy Golding, Arthur Dandy And Barry, who were brothers, I Arthur Sutton, Jack Greenwood And some nameless others. To Southport we went On a Saturday night Whatever the weather, It was always alright, Because friends got the Bus at Banks and the ferry And they usually came home Very happy and merry. We all went to work, It was often six days But evenings and weekends Were passed many ways, We were often contented To just sit and talk And would do things Together or go for a walk. Now some friends are gone, And some are still here, Some moved away And do not live very near, Was life really so carefree And happy like this? Or is it only my memory When I reminisce?

Sent: 3.37 PM - 5/21 Nice & interesting web site with some good photos of your lovely village. Keep up the good work! :-) Hometown: Holmeswood Sent: 12.24 PM - 4/5 Just a quick note. I know this will be removed as soon as I put it on the web site. WHo the hell as let then build them 2 white eyesaws in the middle of the village. We have a red brick church and school and they re-build the smithy (old black smiths) in red brick. Then they re-build the old garges down Smithy Lane in red brick. And all this as added to the character of the village. Then 2 white boxes with some tacky stone stuck to the front are built in the middle of the village on the main road. WHAT A MESS!! They've pulled down a 300 old house and built a bungalow Just what Homleswood needs. I may be on my own writing this, but I'd like to hear what others have to say on this matter. So please scroll to the bottom of this page and let me and every one else Know what you think on this and other matters. Name: Homepage: Hometown: CA Sent: 3.33 AM - 2/6 Awesome site!
