Audrey Olson Commented on Sat, May 22, 2021 at 6:11am
I live in Regina Saskatchewan in Canada and have very old letters from relatives in England indicating that my great aunt and uncle, Harry and Ethel Crook, owned a poultry farm on Leigh Road in the 1930s called Bankside Farm. I'm wondering if Bank Side is named after their farm. In 1933, my great grandfather described the farm in this way: "this place has deeds which close on a thousand years, & some of its aspects look like it. Roofs & Chimneys to be overhauled, drains to be fixed, & a hundred other items done before it is habitable." I suppose it very likely the farm was demolished and more modern housing replaced it.
Many thanks to anyone who might be able to provide information.

Hello Audrey,
Regarding Bankside Farm,Westhoughton.
My grandmother, Ann Thornley,was brought up on Bankside Farm and she was born in 1900.Her father was Henry Hurst,my great grandfather.He remarried after his wife died in childbirth to a woman ,who had lost her husband who was a coal miner in the Pretoria Pit disaster in 1910,when approximately 500 men died.Henry had a brother,William,who worked on the farm .Henry,s other daughter,Margaret married Andrew Lowe,my great uncle.
Henry,William,Margaret and Andrew moved to a farm in North Lancashire .I think it must have been in the 1930,s,so I think Harry Crook,your relation must have bought the farm from them.
My grandmother stayed in an end terrace house at the of the lane to Bankside Farm.She had 4 children,Edith was my mother born in 1923,still alive living in Norfolk with my brother.She is 98,but has excellent memory. I am going to see her next week.I will ask if she can remember Harry Crook.My uncles left Westhoughton to work on the farm at Clevelys .One is still alive.I was very close to grandma .We lived 50 metres away and I spent my boyhood in her pen,an allotment behind the house,where she had hens,geese ,ducks and guinea fowl.As a boy I remember walking in the park behind the farm and she showed me the well,from where they got water.
My grandfather had a brother George ,who had a garage and pigs on the old lane to Bankside.I remember it was burnt down ,when I was a boy.
-I left in 1967 and became a farm vet in Lancashire.I am 73.
I,d be very interested to hear of any information regarding Bankside in the letters.
My cousins daughter still lives in grandma,s house.
So ,yes,Bankside was built on with housing ,when I was a boy.
Regards,Geoff Higginson

In the late 1950/early 1960s, there was a large house on this site called Downalong that was owned by the Bellman family. I believe Mr Bellman was a political speech writer.
