We had a fire.

We are the home of Jordan's Cereal.

Used to make Berkeley Caravans and Sportscars.

It fails to mention Dan Albone. He invented the world's first successful light farm tractor, and the Ivel Safety bicycle. He was from here

Quite interesting!!!

"The Hare and Hounds public house, built in the 17th Century, was once used as a place to hold trials of local criminals, including murders".

I live right opposite that pub!!

"In 1830 Parkside, Newton le Willows, near Lowton, was the site of the world's first fatal passenger train crash, when Liverpool MP William Huskisson was killed after being hit by George Stephenson's Rocket locomotive during the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway"

I remember covering that in GCSE History!
