My father, Harold Pollard, was born in Haslingden in 1919 but emigrated to Canada with his parents in 1925. He served in 410 Squadron in the RCAF, so spent a lot of the war in England. He traveled to Haslingden and Blackburn when on leave to visit his relatives.

Mum and dad married in 1944, VE Day was 1945, but they did not get to be together until he was demobbed in 1946. In the interim it was back to the British Protectorate of Palestine (to become Israel) where he had been posted when war broke out.
The reward for service was a pre-fab on Broadway, then a new build on York Avenue.

Historical Notes - Pubs in Haslingden
I have been going through mum's old photos and found some newspaper cuttings she had kept, this one in particular I think some of you may find interesting. The plan shows the pubs at top 'o town and Sheeps Green. I have had to post it in two pics as I couldn't fit it all under my scanner - still getting used to the scanner
Thanks to Linda Maughan

My uncle, John Bill Nuttall, mum's brother, serving in Burma. Fighting went on for 3 months after VE Day. The war ended with the exploding of the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki before the planned campaign in Malaysia could start. Thanks, Carmel, for agreeing to share these photos.

Peter Taylor's Mum and Dad
My mum and dad 25th September 1945 Dad had served most of the war in the RAF in India and mum had worked making munitions in a factory somewhere in Haslingden - Stotts possibly. I've posted this photo before but it's the only one I have of them. They set up home in Wells Street later moving to Deardengate to run the Cafe at 101, Dad worked for a Wholesale grocers down Prinny Hill the name escapes me but David Peat will hopefully remind me. Mum died in 1962 after only 17 years of marraige, Dad later went on to open the Disc record shop, but died suddenly on 31st December 1974.

Here are a couple of pics of my dad in the war. He was stationed in Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa on the airbase at Ikeja which is now Lagos Airport. He helped run the stores and fuel trucks etc which supported the aircraft in the African campaign. He is pictured in his hut off duty with his mosquito net behind him. The other picture is the truck he drove and one of the aircraft. Looks like some type of bomber. Sure someone will know the type. They kept lizards on the mosquito nets to help keep the mosquitos at bay. His brother Albert sadly was on the infamous railway held by the Japanese and did not return.

Can we please if possible get more information on these fabulous photos kindly sent in by Rosalind Govett. Some background information - Rosalind's Grandmother was born in Haslingden and here are some of her early photos from her photo album, annotated by Rosalind's mother.Brief biography to put the photos in context: Gertrude Barlow born 1899, Prospect Terrace, Blackburn Road, Rising Bridge. 1920 at Trinity Baptist married William (Bert) Wisbey who came to Haslingden to work at the Haslingden Empire Cinema. In 1921 Bert Wisbey and William Wilmore built the Rawtenstall Picture House. The poor quality light photo shows Rosalids grandmother front row 3rd from the right, she looks about 5, so it is probably about 1905. COULD THIS BE STONEFOLD PRIMARY SCHOOL ? The next photo was obviously taken in a studio but it still looks like a school photo. Gertrude in top row with white ribbo in her hair, she looks about 10, so maybe taken in 1910. Another School photo. Gertrude, 4th from left, looks about 12/14 so about 1913 It looks like the same building as 1905. Next Tanner Liberal Club Outing 1907. Far left is William Wilmore, his wife and their son Tom in front of him. The next photo is from 1921 a charabanc outing. The baby could be Rosalinds mother a she was born in 1931 and there is a pencil D (daddy) on the photo with a line to the man holding a child. THE NEXT 3 PHOTOS WERE DESCRIBED TO ROSALIND AS A SUNDAY SCHOOL OUTING. I DO NOT KNOW THE BUILDING IN THE BACKGROUND AND SHOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE RECOGNISES IT.
