Of course there is, but some won't own up to it and the others have to travel so far to find a decent pub that only a few are visible in daylight the rest are transported in from afar by late night transport !

My Dad's address was 11 Court 43 Newman Rd. He went to Wincobank School and used to tell me that he got into trouble climbing on the school roof to ring the school bell. He went to the Wincobank picture house a lot. Before he died he had an allotment which was just behind Wincobank & Blackburn Club. As a kid I used to spend hours playing on The Rigs - in fact we used to call it the Roman Rigs. There was always skylarks nesting there in the summer but you could never find their nest. On a Sunday Morning I would go with my Dad to his allotment which was off Vauxhall Rd. At dinner time we would walk down to a little sweet & pop shop on a corner on Newman Rd. and then down the hill to Wincobank Club. We lived on Brightside Lane at that time near English Steel works.

 

when I was young we lived at pits moor after we left wincobank my dad used to take me up to parkwood springs, like you we used see rather hear the sky larks and we would look for their nests but never found one yet we would see the larks coming down, we used to take our boxer dog up there and one day she was running round and found one nest then ten minutes later she found another unluckily she ate the first nests eggs

Moved from America. Of all the places, I looked for a house including crookes and other posh areas, I found Wincobank to be an island of peace and tranquility. Its a great place to live and commute. Most importantly good value for the money.
