Dizzy Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I didn't hear anything over this way (Stockton Heath area) but I may have been asleep. What time were they ? Nothing on the local news though so doubt it must have been an explosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Nothing over this side of town (Grappenhall) that I am aware of, but the wife said she heard what she thought may have been thunder or fireworks, about 1130pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisamelanie2 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 it was around 11.30pm it was very loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I just asked my two and they got home about 10 mins before then and I was still on here and they didn't hear anything either. Strange cos Algy's not that far away from me. Saying that they were so loud when they got in after the excitement of the rugby match that they would have drowned a sonic bang out. I'll ask around anyway to see if anyone else heard it as I'm intrigued Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverlady54 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 There were some fireworks going off around that time, they woke me up and they certainly ended with some very loud bangs. Not sure where they were coming from but we're in the Gainsborough Road area and it was very loud!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I heard them and thought it might have been gullivers world as I live not far from there but did not see any of the usual flashes in the cloud. Did note that there were a few sirens heading in the direction of bewsey around that time or maybe just after. Spotted two Police cars screaming in that direction as well this morning.

Dizzy Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Maybe the sirens you heard last night and this morning were because of this Evils... maybe they were excited ! http://www.gulliversfun.co.uk/warrington/events/emergency-services-weekend.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Silverlady... you have got me worried that I may be deaf now as you are not far from me either. Someone else I spoke to said they thought they heard fireworks too so that's sounding like the most likely explanation. The loud boom/explosion could have been one of those sonic bang fireworks (the sort that are only supposed to be used at displays but people manage to get hold of anyway). They are sooooooo very loud and you can hear them from a long way away and even feel them if you are close enough (speaking from certain experience) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WireWarrior97 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 About half 11? Rumbling noises? I can see Gullys World fireworks from my window, and there weren't any, and my mates in Sankey could hear them better than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 That's odd.... you say 'rumbling' and I did hear a loud and continuous distant rumling noise the other night when I was going to bed but it wasn't like the 'bangs' and 'explosion sounds' that lisamelanie2 mentioned. It was around a similar time or a little later and I 'think' it was Thursday night. It was a very odd lound sound. I thought it that maybe there were some strange night time drilling works going on somewhere or a large 'something or other' travelling past on a canal or train line and I never really gave it another thought and went to sleep. I wonder if my memery is playing tricks on me and I actually heard it last night and not Thursday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 We were out with friends last night and they asked if we heard the bangs on Friday night and this was from the Paddington/Woolston area. I was in Dizzyland at the time and never heard a thing. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisamelanie2 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 How very strange not heard anything on the news, or any other websites. Very curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 maybe it was just loud fireworks after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WireWarrior97 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 maybe it was just loud fireworks after all Definitely not Gullivers World, I would have seen them. Who else does them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 It wouldn't have had to be an organised one Clarkey... maybe it was someone's birthday or other happy occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
