I attended Lostock open air until 1969. I have fond memories
of the school and often wonder what became of my fellow pupils and
teachers.

I was brought up in Lostock and have many happy memories
of my childhood around the Rumworth Lodge or the rough ground which
was formerly the mill site and is now Middlebrook Drive. I also
recall playing for Christ Church football club on the pitches which
were used by lostock Open Air School and are now the home of Ladybridge
Football Club.
Time has moved on and for the past 5 years I have resided on Pocket
Nook Road in Chew Moor and I am also the website editor, trustee
and committee member for Ladybridge Football Club. I do beleive
it was sad the stance that the Lostock Residents association took
in relation to the LFC development, but hopefully now 5 years on
all the locals will see the benefits of having a football club which
is renowed as the finest in the North West and beyond looking after
the green land and protecting it from the house builders who now
doubt would have taken the land, had the club not taken the steps
it did.
I hope you will also see the work being conducted by volunteers
of the club with the help of local folk to update and improve the
footpath which runs along the perimeter of the pitches to the benefit
of all. There is much more we would like to do to improve the area,
and all at Ladybridge would welcome working closer with the Lostock
residents group to ensure this is the case. One issue I would like
to raise in the area is the dog fouling which I feel is apalling.
I have 2 Newfoundlands weighing 10 and 12 stone respectively and
a Golden Retriever. I always take poop a scoop bags out with me
and clean up after my dogs, but I am disgusted to see that many
locals do not and some even allow there pets to foul our football
pitches which are regularily used by players under 7 y

I have a number of connections with Lostock. I lived with my parents
Peers & Edith Carter at Regent House where Regent Rd joins CNR.
This was previously my grandparents house. My uncle Dan Wynne-Thomas
a well known local architect and his wife Madge, lived a few houses
down Regent Rd at Bodnant which he designed. My uncle Col Jim Carter
lived at Prospect House on Tempest Rd. It seems to have been demolished
now & re-developed.My grandmother then Lucy Owen, as a girl
lived at Lostock Hall.There is a family story [probably wrong] that
she was related to the Owen who founded Owens College in Manchester
[now Manchester University] I have a certificate of my grandfathers
gained at Owens College. He became a chartered accountant practicing
from 14 Wood St Bolton, as did my father and later myself.
