Thank you so much for these photos. Not looked back before now. Was born in Leigh and lived there until I was 18 yrs old. Went back to work there as a careers adviser in 1990s. Mum worked as a spinner. Dad in coal mines. Both dead now. All I can say is thank goodness I was brought up to make do and mend. Has held me in good stead for all my life. Taught me to stand on my own two feet. Live in my own home now in Sale - been a really difficult ride but I made it. People here not as chatty as those in Leigh. I'll talk to anyone still - never lost that. God bless youxx

I love making these videos and when people say they enjoyed watching then it makes it all worthwhile. I havn't been back to Leigh in about 12 years but I still keep in touch with many old friends through Old Leigh Photographs on Facebook.

Thank you so much Barry, I was born and bred in Leigh and moved to Preston 30 years ago, . Not a patch on how 'old' Leigh was! Really thank you for this upload. I remember 'Tunnies Mill'
