I went to school here, Bickerstaffe CofE Primary School. 1970-1974. Was born in Ormskirk, Now living in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China.

Wow!

The text does not stay on the screen long enough to be fully read.

Do you have any old photos / footage from Banks, just North of Southport.

Thankyou - can you do one on Banks please !!!

Hi My mum was an evacuee to the Cleator(?) family in Lydiate during the war. They had a Butcher's shop. Would this be the same one that is mentioned by madjac?

Brilliant, thanks!

I was born in Omrskirk and lived in Southport road Lydiate and came across this site whilst browsing, my dad had a butchers shop on Liverpool road Maghull, it is interesting to see this as I left Lydiate 50 years ago.

Put your notes in front of you. You keep looking down to read them.

Thank you. Nice views and familiar local names. I’ve not been to St Mary’s for over 40 years.

Hi I'm a descendant last name is Bickerstaff if u have insight please reply

sorry but there's a lot of background hiss, is it not possible to remove it? thanks

Would have been nice to have seen the organ and console. Maybe a bit of playing accompanying this video

Medieval not mediaeval?!

Re the photo titled An Event in Westhead 1931 , with Alma Howard, Mr Hardman and Mr Bosanko, Alma recalls that when they paused for the photo they stuck to the road which had recently been resurfaced

I was in the retinue for the Festival of Britain Rose Queen in 1951. We had to walk round in a hall to be chosen. The hall stood where Ormskirk Bus Station is now.

Wow, thank you for this. I wonder if you knew that Ron Janes who founded ODFHS actually lived in Westhead? 😊 My Dad was Treasurer in the early days. They both would have loved this ❤️

Lovely video, thanks for posting.

Those four ladies sitting in a row are my ancestors! I've never seen that photo. Many thanks to the ODFHS Geoff

The Bee Gardens are still there - a little wood near the brook.

Thank you.

My roots

So called Spanish Flu as the Spanish wanted nothing to do with it. It began straight after WW1 as that had destroyed a lot of historical buildings that couldn’t be in their current narrative as there is no explanation as how they were built. One in five brits died of a flu yet it’s not mentioned on any gravestone. History is wrote by so called victors. Every hundred years there is a scamdemic.

Anything in Skelmersdale? The doomsday book mentions it. Albeit a lot smaller with Stormy Corner as such surrounding. **edit

At Thomas has a tomata?

Thank you Kate for another very interesting virtual talk. Also for the many hours of research that went into your preparation. Steve Huyton, Rustington, West Sussex

I waas there in 2010 trying to find out about my ancestors- the Harriot's. Was pleasantly surprised to find this video. Am from Australia.

I go to that school :) it’s amazing

Very interesting and well researched.

Lovely to see once more the area my Manchester family lived from 1700s.

Very interesting .Thank you. Ken.

Thank you for sharing the video. Although not currently a member of ODFHS, when I was a member I was unable to come to Lancashire for the very interesting talks, I hope you will do more of the online videos. Some very interesting lines of research mentioned. Although recently I have not been able to do a lot of research, I have some families on your boat family tree. They were born in Tarleton, but frequently births and marriages registered in Liverpool.

Thank you for this video! :)

Timothy Manchester and Jane Peet are my ancestors so thanks

These are my ancestors so very interesting to me. Thanks

My old church. I was a choirboy here in the days of Canon Jones.

As of November 2019, we have realised that this is our most-viewed video on UA-cam, and we are really curious to know why! Either we've been found by a lot of people who like history or there are huge numbers of you out there who want to see what Ormskirk looks like - somebody has recently noticed that Google StreetView doesn't cover the centre of Ormskirk (because it's pedestrianised). If you would like to tell us what it is about this video that you like, we'd be delighted to hear it.

Amazing video. My Nan has lived in Halsall for about 20 years so I spent a lot of my childhood there. Including a year living with her last year. It’s a shame that the younger generations dismiss it as such a boring place.

Its a great shame I missed this. Most of my Ancesters came from all the areas shown. A big majority worked on the Leeds to Liverpool canal on my Grandmas side. Stazickers, Baybutt, Harrison and many , many more. From Carolyne

Portable museum....love it, brilliant Kate thank you and to everyone involved.

Awesome

Just to correct a detail at 0.09 - you turn right out of Smithy Lane, not left, to get to Southport Road!

Scarisbrick Hall opened as a school in 1964, not the 1950s. Try to get your facts right.

Alot of my ANCESTERS worked on the Leeds to Liverpool Canal, Stazicker, Harrison's and many many more. From Carolyne

most of my Ancestors , Stazickers, Harrisons, Halsall etc worked on the Leeds to Liverpool Canal (Canal Boats) in the 19th Century. I am very proud of them. from Carolyne

I go to that school :)

Fabulous, very atmospheric, well done!

great content brings back memories
