Hello Colette,
Just stumbled across your website.... and as a fellow Middletonian it brought a smile to my face. A great idea. I think the layout can be improved but that will come with time and money. I think you could add a section and call it "Middletonians round the world". Where people that have moved away can let you know what and where they are up to. I'm sure that this would be greatly supported.... some of us already do it through Facebook etc... but would be nicer through your page. I live in Almeria, Spain for example.
Also, a "Reunions" page for schools and work places. There is something being organised currently which I will try and get some information to you if you are interested. You could do "Job swaps" where people that live in Miggy and travel outside to Heywood or Bolton for example... might be able to swap someone doing a similar job.... just a thought.
You could do a "Where are you now" section for people looking to find family and frends. You could "Photo and Video Gallery" of people and events in Manchester, even links to youtube stuff. Anyway, going to recommend your site to my family...Good luck, will help and input where I can.
Regards

I came across your site from doing a Google search while doing my family genealogy and found your information on Harbord Harbord or Lord Suffield. This gentleman would be my 4th great Grandfather as his daughter Katherine Harbord of Suffied married Jack Petre and his son John Berney Petre married a commoner but the marriage was suppose to be annulled but I have not found documentation of the marriage or annulment but I do have documentation proof they did have children one being named Berney Seymor (Petre) my great grandfather. I have found my quest very interesting in finding out about my family history.

Just visited the website and it's great. I used to live in Middleton and enjoyed visiting the site. You have a good structure about it. It's easy to navigate with interesting content.

Came across your web site by accident and its bloody marvelous, keep up the good work didnt know Middleton had anything like this. Must admit at first it seemed so professional that I thought Rochdale Council were involved but reading on I know what you think of them. Have read your personal comments, so what can I say YES I agree with all your sentiments along with many others I hope. This website is so fantastic it deserves a lot more publicity, havent you ever been approached to go on local tv news ?
Well if my Radio Homenet scheme develops as I hope, I feel sure that we can possibly work together to provide the good townsfolk of Middleton with an exeptional information service. Its been a real pleasure looking at your site.

Congratulations on your website. I'm just a few years older than you and I grew up in Middleton. The worst thing that happened to the place was the building of the Arndale centre in the 70's - ripped the heart out of the town.
I was back there a few weeks ago for the first time in ten years and if anything its gone further down hill. I was sad to see all the litter in the gardens below the church, and the town centre has been completly butchered. Middleton has a very interesting history and ought to be a vibrant place.
I wish you luck in your efforts to save Tonge Hall and put a bit of pride back into the place

Just a note to say it's the first time I've seen your web site, and I like it, you've put so much work in to this and it shows, and you are so right people have had enough of how the country is going in general, it's an all round thing who do you trust in big business? can you trust the so called political party's. the country is now a complete mess, and run just for the few, those with the money and power full of greed and always wanting more and more.
It's a good site keep up the good work, I for one will be calling back to it on a regular basis.
All the best.

Fantastic! Well chuffed for you, you clever sod. And your speech is bang on. You have been busy. 'Tesco Town' yeah that sounds appropriate and I call Middleton Gardens a bullring! It wants shifting. They could sell cattle off in there! Great and well done and I hope it's a resounding success for you. I will be on it now til I've seen it all. Brill!
I.B, Middleton
