Welcome to the Summerseat section of our website

 

I do hope that you enjoy your visit to the Summerseat web site.

This site is dedicated to information about Summerseat, which is a village about 8 miles North of Manchester, and 2 miles North of Bury, which are in Lancashire, UK.

I have had many really nice e-mails from so many people from around the world that have enjoyed their visit to this site.

There is a great site where you can view many photos of the past, it has been set up by the Bury Museum + Archives Department.

Bury Image Bank is a comprehensive image library containing a local history and archives database, showcasing streets and buildings from c.1850 to the present day. Images are being added on a regular basis and increasingly show people and organisations from across the Borough. The database is free to search and for personal non-commercial use.
I have placed a link here to the Home Page of the site, just type in Summerseat into the Search Box and it will bring up many old photos of Summerseat. The site does have many photos of Bury and I am sure that you will spend some enjoyable times viewing the great photos of the past.

 

Bury Image Bank

I have placed Transcriptions that I have done of the 1841, 1871 & 1881 censuses of Summerseat on this site, I do hope you find some of your ancestors here.

Why not enjoy a train ride from Bury to Summerseat, I am sure that you will find the ride very interesting, this piece of old film was taken during 1966, Click Here to see the film.

I have been sent this very good photo which shows the

Summerseat Wesleyan prize choir, 1st May 1920.

We know that the person on the front row 4th from left, is Emily Haworth (married Daniel Bamford). Then Ernest Heys is the man on the left (probably the conductor as he is carrying a baton). He was the Chief Designer at the mill, and was gifted musically - he retired to Torquay and was the organist at the church in his later life.

It would be great if we can place more names of the people who are in the photo, so if you happen to know any of the choir members,

then please .

Many thanks to Jen Grady who sent me the copy of the photo, and also for allowing me to place it on the Summerseat Web Site.

You can now view some very old photos of the team members of Brooksbottoms Cricket Club of Summerseat, that date back to the 1800's, together with a few newspaper cuttings. I am sure that you find these of interest.

I would like to thank Mark Richardson, who is the Brooksbottom C.C Chairman, for sending these to me and allowing me to share them with you, by placing them on this site.

Here is a link to the Brooksbottoms Cricket Club Photo Page.

If you happen to have any information that you think would go well on this site, including photos, then please contact me, as I would be only to pleased to accommodate further interesting pieces about Summerseat.

This site is a branch from our main Ward Family Website, and I do hope that you make a visit to our main site when you have finished here, as we have so much information there for you to see, not only about our family history, but also there are sections on Britain in the 1800's, also a Military section, plus many census extracts, and so much more, it is a very popular site.

I have tried to make this site easy to get around, and have placed many photos to show how our village looks.

Well I think it is now time for you to enjoy your trip around our Summerseat website, I do hope that you enjoy your visit, and please call back from time to time, as this site will be growing all the time, as I add more interesting information for you about our lovely village of Summerseat.

Please spare a few minutes to sign our guestbook when you have had a look around, as I would really like to know your views on this site.

If you have come here via our Ward Family Website, you can easily get back by using the Ward Family Website link on the navigation bar on the left, when you have finished here.  

Here is a lovely bit of history, as you can now travel on this short train ride from Bury to Stubbins, stopping at Summerseat and Ramsbottom stations. This film was taken in 1966.

I really do hope that you enjoy your ride.

 

 

You may find the 'Opening of the ELR' page of interest, as I have placed a few very old newspaper cuttings that I have come across which relate to the opening of the railway, and also one that relates to a fatal railway accident which occurred close to

Summerseat station in 1855.
