We have tried many avenues so far but with no result. We would love to borrow a pic to copy and display in the pub. With a window like that loads of photos must have been taken - Go on pester your Grandad!! Cheers John 'n' Caz

I'll ask again maybe my auntie & uncle have some lying around. I've seen an old picture of the Carders Arms that used to be across the road knocking around the internet so I am sure somebody must have a piccy of the good 'ole Barrel. Good luck I like knowing about local history so it'll be good to see some old photos, some old stories would be great too

I've got a couple of books like Pubs of Leigh and Pictoral Astley (by John & Sylvia Tongue who i think are involved in the Astley Hall group) but nothing with Tyldesley in. Chamleys in Leigh used to be the best place for historical books but its gone now. There is also a furniture shop in Leigh (Fazakerley's?) opposite Wilkinsons which has some old pictures of Leigh for sale in the window, they may have some contacts. Good Luck.

Egor Posts: 3,048 Group: The Management Member #4 Joined: December 7, 2004	Cheers Dub, I've already tried the archive at Leigh. Also Atherton Photographic & Historical societies. I will try that shop in Leigh when I get a chance to get in. Where is it in relation to either Mc Donalds or 121 Music ?
