Hello mate. Welcome from sunny (today anyway) Dorset from another exile. Just north of Manchester - Bury? I spent a couple of years there as a lad on my family's migration south.

Just a bit further, Rawtenstall (like Seattle we don't tan, we rust <G>) furtherest south I've worked has been Reading, Horsham, & Portsmouth.

Ah, Rawtenstall, home of the East Lancashire Railway.
I remember visiting an interesting museum there, if I recall correctly it wa ssituated in an old mill and was all about textiles.
