No Manor Arms / Barrel piccies in that book unfortunately :(
Have you tried Atherton or Tyldesley libraries? I believe they have pretty good local history sections.

Nope - I've spoke to a guy at the Leigh archive, no joy.

Phil @ Paddy's has just bought a book with loads of local pub's in so I'll try and get a snakey peakey in that. We found a pic of ''The Carders'' though.

Yeah, I've seen the Carders one before... is it the one where almost looks like somebody's house with a sign over the door?

I remember seeing The Carders, it's the building on the right of S & W's yard on the front. I think it's offices now.

That's the one, on the corner of Printshop Lane. I never went in there. Actually it might have closed down not long after I left school.
