Isn’t Mere Hall the wedding venue and where you can register births or am I thinking of somewhere else?

I remember Mere Hall park too.
It's really a coincidence you should mention jumping off the bus while in motion.
I used to get off just after Bennetts Lane on Church Road.
I often saw this guy jump off as it came up the hill to the bus stop.
I tried it one day and of course fell forward and crashed my knees down before saving myself, I still remember that really well.
I didn't attempt that trick again.

Yes same one.
My nephew had his wedding reception there some years back.
The park is actually called Thompson Park but everyone knew it as Mere Hall Park.
Another little quirk is the Mere Hall is two words but Merehall Street is just one.
Still catches me out that does.

I did after my dad told me what to do!
I got a bit reckless once again by jumping off when the bus was going too fast and couldn't run fast enough to save myself from pitching forward after it but once I knew the trick and judge the speed I could do it with the best of them!

Cajun, I also went to the County Grammar in Gt Moor St, and as there is only a year or so between us, we may well have met as well. I was only there a year or so as my parents moved to East London.

I was still in the shop.
The shopkeeper was telling me that some nutjob had been in earlier asking him if he sold peppercorn's and we were having such a good laugh about it that I missed having my picture taken!

YES, THERE WAS.@gloswhite wrote:My mum always threatened to take us to Vernon St, if we'd been misbehaving. I think it was because there was a dogs home, (or something) there ?
We had a crazy dog called Micky, he ended up there once before we got him back.

Happy Times, I loved the school being in the town, it lost all it's identity and character when it moved up to Breightmet, YUCK!@gloswhite wrote:Cajun, I also went to the County Grammar in Gt Moor St, and as there is only a year or so between us, we may well have met as well.

I guess you wouldn't have gone to the new school.

There used to be a dog called Micky near us, but it had a surname, Chadwick. What kind of a dog has a bloody surname.

We used to have Stones and Beatles gangs at school. It could get ugly. Luckily, I was a folkie even then and steered clear of it.

If we are talking Stones albums, how about Street Fighting Man?
I had a soft spot for Sticky Fingers, mainly because of the real zip on the front cover. Dad wasn't impressed. His idea of a great musical evening was dragging us to see The Spinners at The Octagon. Not for me.

I edited out the Street Fighting Man but because i realised it was Exile on Main Street which is a good album.
