Welcome to Middleton's very own community website!

This is the first of its kind created independently by a Middleton woman with no ties to any other organisation or authority and is here purely for the good of our community and to keep the heart of our town alive.

I NEED YOU TOO!

THIS MONTH IN HISTORY Sandbags at the ready! Middleton has had two great floods, both in the month of July! The first occurred on 14th July, 1828 but by far the most tragic was the great flood of 1927 on 10th July in which 3 local people lost their lives.

The site is new and will take time to grow. It will be regularly updated and added to and as my aim is to offer services to the people of Middleton absolutely FREE OF CHARGE, I hope that the people of Middleton will help me make this site a success by contributing. Every one of you is positively welcomed to do this and can do so by e-mailing me at colette@middletonia.co.uk

I am particularly interested in articles written by locals from local history to hobbies or anything in any section of this site. I have made a start on this but appeal for help to make this website the place to go for information on our town. The more items of interest to be found here, the more interest will be generated and it could be fantastic for us!

PROMOTE YOUR CAUSE!

DON'T FORGET!
You can say 'Happy Birthday' for free in the classified section

Local clubs, groups and charities can be found here in the communities or hobbies sections and you can promote your up and coming events absolutely FREE OF CHARGE!


HAVE YOUR SAY!

I want to promote all manners of things to do with Middleton and anyone with anything to say can get their voice heard ABSOLUTELY FREE!

THIS SITE IS ALL ABOUT OUR MIDDLETON, OUR HOMETOWN.

NOT Middleton, Greater Manchester. NOT Middleton in the Borough of Rochdale.

BUT OUR MIDDLETON IN LANCASHIRE.

LET'S RECLAIM OUR IDENTITY!

If there is anything you would like to get off your chest contact me and let's see how far we can take it or get some answers, help or advice. Alternatively you can do this via the letters page. You are welcome to give your details but equally entitled to remain anonymous. (See Privacy Policy) Your input still gives us all an idea of your feelings about things going on in our town. Let's try to change some things at least. Your opinion could make a difference.

LET'S STAND UP FOR OUR OLD TOWN ONCE MORE!

INTERESTING FACT OF THE MONTH
Middleton had its own football club, Tonge AFC, that played on a field near Middleton Technology School lasting 36 years from 1887-1923. Tonge Meadow development now occupies the site.

Any new ideas or suggestions for this site are also welcome. What else would you like to see here? Let me know and I will see what I can do. On almost every page there will be an opportunity for you to contribute. Report your own news to me or promote your business. The possibilities are endless! Help me to make it grow, become a success and an invaluable source of information to us all.
