I was born in July 1953 and spent the first ten years of my life in part of Rawtenstall (East Lancs) called Woodcroft.
Looking back as I do now it is a very special place with lots of happy childhood memories. I have only come to realise now how special and close knit a community we were.
I am going to use these blogs to share these memories, hopefully with people who also lived in Woodcroft at that magic time in the fifties and early sixties.
