Have just spent a nostalgic & tearful visit to Summerseat. I
lived there from 1942 - 45, my father (Ernest Parish) was the
Station Master at Summerseat during those years, we had good
friends Alice and Arthur Sharples who lived in Queens Place. I
started my first school at Summerseat at the age of 5 years old!
There is no doubt I will be returning to this site!. I had hoped
to see photographs of the Station House - last time we visited I
was sad to see that it isn't there now.
It brought many memories of Lammy Bank, Holcombe Hill etc.etc.
Thanks for the website.

Very very interesting. It is fascinating to study the history
of our area and local families. I lived in the long row as a
toddler and also remember the butcher and grocer (Harold Oversby?)
delivering, He used to put in a bar of Cadbury's chocolate
wrapped in foil. As you will know a lot of my family lived in
Hill Street and the brick houses and most of them worked in the
mill. I remember the noise of the weaving sheds when I visited
my grandma and buying sweets from Harry Everetts shop on the way
to grandmas house. She also used to tell tales of the old
Summerseat and of course my dad was born and brought up in the
village so to visit a website with so much information was
really enjoyable. Will show my mum the next time she is round. |

We lived in Crag House from 1955 until 2002 when we moved to
Devon.
Summerseat was the most wonderful place for my children,
Malcolm and Graham, to grow up. All their childhood memories are
of playing in the fields, which surrounded our house in those
days,"going over" into the valley (which involved climbing up
and down "The Crag"and helping (probably hindering) on the farms
of Abel Ward and Joe Pye.
By the mid sixties, when they were leaving home, the
development of the area was well under way. It has turned into a
lovely residential village, which your photos capture admirably,
but if you were to ask my children or their friends it is
nothing compared to the rural bliss of their childhood.

It has been awhile since I first visited I will need to
revisit often as this site is very interesting and informative.
However, it is a great shame that some of the cemeteries are in
such despair and that it is impossible to be able to walk thru
them to locate family or to pay your respects. |

to become so untended. Has the Methodist Church come back with
anything positive. What is their stance on repair and upkeep of

I have always thought that it is such a shame the old
graveyard is over grown and we are unable to walk about and see
the old headstones. I think it's especially sad for people who
have ancestors there. I do not but I was once a resident of
Summerseat and often spend time in the village even now. I feel
it is a part of the village's history and we should be able to
enjoy it. Is there nothing that can be done?
I have enjoyed looking at the old pictures and reading
information about the village on this site. Also, I did not know
about plans for the Indian restaurant, I'm not sure how I feel
about that! |

Another visit, just for the pleasure of it!
I realised of course how informative this web site is - I
hadn't thought until now, how restful it is, just to be able to
wander round Summerseat, passing from subject to subject, from
photo to photo, Peter conjures up so much from the past and
shares it all with such generosity.
Again, Many thanks ! |

One line of the family changed the spelling of the name and
added an e (Pyecroft) there must be a story behind this. |

Have found the website so useful and interesting, though
suspect Summerseat is a much lovelier and nicer place to live
than during the era of the cotton mills.
I Am trying to locate where Goshen (Rothwell's 1871) and
Plumtree Cottage (Althams 1871), Higher Summerseat would have
been situated. Were around in 1901 but suspect that they have
since been demolished. |

My folks were from Ramsbottom. Summerseat area of Bury
I remember visiting my aunty Doris (Ward) as a lass she lived
in a cottage near some woods and facing a river that had been
encased in a high wall (quite a drop down ) my memories are
scarce I'm afraid her sons were Alan and Douglas.
I also remember the group of terrace houses my Granddad lived
in I placed an ad in the bury times and someone came back to me
that it was 16 holly street. Any info much appreciated

Hello there,
This is such a lovely site, I was born in Summerseat in 1980
and lived at no 50 Robin road, we lived there until 1986 when we
moved to Walmersley road. I went to Rowland's school for the
first year of school before we moved. My late Nan lived at
Rowland's farm cottage just at the bottom of queens place and my
other grandparents live at 18 Heath Ave, Higher Summerseat. I
now live in Seaford, East Sussex.
I have so many memories of Summerseat as a child and think it
is a beautiful part of the world. One lovely memory is me not
being very old and my mum took me to the old post office on
railway street, I can still remember what it looked like inside
and she bought me a cuddly monkey because i had been good that
day, another good memory is of Dick Nabb the butcher we used to
go there and he would give me the bits of broken ham and corned
beef to eat, I remember the saw dust on the floor. |

re planning applications...
Just to say, I have heard of restaurants having
accommodation, in fact bella italia in bury has long had several
single bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper floors for exactly
that purpose, ie for staff unable to get home. Whilst I agree
with your sentiments that the proposed use of the building as a
restaurant is not really appropriate, I thought I ought make
that point. For non driving staff.. getting out of Summerseat
late at night is extremely expensive in taxi fares and it is not
a pleasant walk in the dark to get to anywhere, even within the
village! |

Absolutely impressed by the research going continually into
this website !
Very interested indeed to be able to read the Bury Times
account of the opening of the East Lancs Railway - and to notice
that " bosses" haven't changed in their habits of feeding well (
at who's expense?) on public occasions....
100 or 110% in favour of Peter Wards suggestion that a small
railway museum and tea room would be a far more appropriate use
of the old Goods Yard. !! |

informative it is. I've already found census records and grave
stones and visited not just the site but Summerseat itself.
Booked in to Grants Hotel but didn't stay! And went to Old

amenities.( Swimming pool- take your cossies) |

Really good resource and information for people like me
researching their family trees and background.
Your website is very informative and delightful to read.
My Grandmother was Annie Kay her father was a James Kay.
Annie worked as a Cotton Ring Spinner in one of the Bury mills -
your information is valuable to me to realise what life was like
for my ancestors. My grandmother always kept the tiny wooden
clogs she worn in the cotton mill at the end of her bed. I was
allowed to look but never touch. But my memories remain.
My Grandfather was George Albert Benjamin, from London, who
was in the 17th Battalion of the Lancashire Fusiliers in 1915
based at Masham when my grandparents married, then he went to
war from 1915 until 1918. I realise that Annie and Kay were very
common names in this area.
Thank you for keeping this information free and assisting
overseas relatives searching for information. |
|
Surnames I am Researching: |
My Grandmother was Annie Kay - married in 1915 aged 20 she
lived in 6 Back Hill Street, which I believe was in Summerseat.
Although it is no longer called Back Hill Street, but now Hill
Street.
Any information on Annie Kay born circa 1896 or her father
James Kay. I have been told that James Kay or his family may
have originated from Southern Ireland.
I would be delighted to hear from anyone who may have
information on my ancestors.
I now live in New Zealand so accessing information or
visiting places in person is not so easy. |

We visited Summerseat today, not for the first time as I have
lived in or around Bury for the last 30 years. However it is
only during the last couple of years that I have taken avid
interest in my family story. As far as I had been concerned till
then my family were from Scotland Staffordshire and Shropshire.
It was not without some amazement that I found that in about
1862 my great great grandparents Charles and Elizabeth
Micklewright then aged 50+ whose families had lived in
Shropshire for hundreds of years came to Bury with 7 of their
ten children (my great grandmother stayed behind) and the family
exchanged jobs as servants and ag labs for positions as weavers
carters general labourers, porters and shuttle makers. The fact
of my having lived in Bury is purely co-incidental to that. I
don't think my father whose ancestors they were knew about the
fact that his great grandparents had moved to Bury.
After terrible family tragedy, not I think unique to their
family, my great grandparents and their youngest daughter and a
motherless grandchild moved from Bury to Beech Street
Summerseat, sometime between 1901 and 1906. Their daughter
worked as a weaver, their grandson as a labourer in a paper
mill. My gg grandfather died in 1906, my gg grandmother in 1910.
In 1911 my gg aunt Josephine Micklewright and my grandfather's
cousin, her nephew were living in Beech Street. Later that year
she married a Frank Woods of Railway Street Summerseat, also a
weaver, and he married and moved back to central Bury. Josephine
and Frank moved to a different house on Beech Street between
1911 and 1913. They had 3 children I can find Elizabeth b 1912
Frank b 1914 and Annie b 1916.
Then when we came home I found your wonderful website on
Summerseat. Thank you so much. |

I have very recently found my Grandfather's brother in
Ramsbottom, and his wife's family in Summerseat. They moved from
Norfolk in the 1870's/80's.
The men worked as railway platelayers, and other members of
their families worked in the cotton mills. I know nothing about
life in the cotton mills, and would be very interested in
learning more about the mills in these villages.
I was very impressed with all the lovely photos of the area,
perhaps coming from rural Norfolk the families were able to
enjoy the surrounding countryside, if they ever had any time
off. The villages they left in Norfolk are still very small,
Gasthorpe, Shropham, Garboldisham and Thelnetham, which is in
Suffolk. |

A wonderful site
very informative, I will spend more time reading through all the
information. I was given this sites address whist looking for
information on bird hall. My ggg grandparents lived there on
some of the census.
Can anyone give
me any information about this building.
It is disgusting
how the cemetery has been allowed to become overgrown. something
should be done about it |

Your photos took
me back to 1967, I used to have a girlfriend who lived in a row
of cottages more or less opposite the garden centre, not sure
what the street was called.

The site I found
by looking for Summerseat school.
I am trying to
find information on the school I went to. it was Summerseat
school for delicate children and I was there in early 70's. I
would like to find any information or pictures of children there
at the time I was. I remember going to the church in the village
on a Sunday. I remember that the headmaster Mr Sidery lived off
the school premises just at the back on the new estate, I
remember he had a son not sure if any other children.
If anyone has any
info, could they send to my email address please.
All messages
gratefully received, thanks. |

It was great to see all your family
photo's, I have many happy memories of my childhood growing
up in Summerseat, I used to love going down to my Auntie
Nellie's and especially when I was allowed to sleepover
because uncle Jack would let us stay up late late and watch
horror movies or tell us scary stories, then I would be
scared for weeks when I was going to bed!! I can recall so
many happy times with you all Christine of which I thank you
for, hope you and all the family well Kind regards Ann Lee

Not only is this an easily accessible
and very interesting website, but it is changing and
enriched by someone who is obviously very involved with it.
You can make a cup of tea and spend a restful hour visiting
it in the evening, so much better than sitting in front of
the TV - and more stimulating much more friendly!
