Mystery Runner - 08.07.08
A runner's name is missing on the results. Unfortunately because his number blew off we don't know who he is. Assuming he's local, perhaps someone visiting the site may recognise him. If anyone knows his name and address then please inform Brian Porter (email: ) He can then sort the results. <View Photo>

Historical information about the property that once existed at the end of the Warton runway has been found <more>.

We also have a request for any information about Oonagh Lewers Matthews.

Does anyone know what happened to Brenda Ashcroft?

If you can help, you can email Ruth at:

My name is Ian Gillespie and I live in Belfast. I'm hoping to gather information I need for a piece of Archaeological research I am conducting.

I am trying to find information about the late Oonagh Lewers Matthews (1904 - 2000). She may have been a Doctor in Freckelton although she returned to live in Northern ireland before she died. Her parents were Thomas and Lucy, Thomas was originally from Annahilt in Co. Down Northern Ireland, he died in 1935 and is buried in Freckleton (? Church of England).

If you have any information, you can email Ian at:
