True Guest Glueman,true. When I lived there the changes from Yorkshire to Greater Manchester were being proposed. There was talk of land mining the roads at Lees and Springhead...
There was always a sense of 'summat for nowt' in those days. Saddleworth got all its services from Oldham, but paid its rates to Wakefield.
Tell the truth, I went back briefly five years ago for a funeral. It all seemed a bit yuppified to me. The pub where I was on the dominos and darts team is now a high-end gastropub, people eating stuffed cabbage rather than playing cribbage. Hang on; unrestricted nostalgia; I may be turning into a folkie! AAAArrrgggHHH!
