algy Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Rex if your out there, you'd better get cracking cos' this one will go faster than the "proverbial off a fireman's shovel". Who owns the factory and what did they produce. What is the area (precise please). The barge is one of two that this company owned either name will do.

algy Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Faircloughs flour mill at Bank Quay. Correct with the name and business although looking for something more precise with the address, Bank Quay is the locality but instead of Bank Quay try A-------- Quay. Name of two barges?.

Dizzy Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 either Mersey Mill or Littons Mill Both owned by James Fairclough Produced Flour from corn Littons was on the bank of the bend of the Mersey on the side of Old Liverpool Road. Liverpool Road, Athertons Quay I think. The other mill was somewhere else but very close by.. I cant remember Boat... err Flowery Patterns or somthing like that.

Cleopatra Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Atherton Quay Pater and paneray - barges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Mac Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thanks Algy, I logged in too late to have a go at the main topic. Never mind maybe I'll do a little better next time. By the way, did Rock Oil use the same building for a while back in the early '70s? If it is then I remember going past on the bus to work one morning and there was a rare old fire blazing away. You could even feel the heat from the fire through the bus window on Knutsford Road. As for the names of the barges - Mmmmm, any chance of a close up so I can cheat:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Cleo I said Athertons Quay... you just copied and that's cheating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Oh.....! Anyway you didn't know the names of the barges so there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 That wipes that one out of the way, Dizz, Cleo's on the ball today, Rex, sorry can't tell you much about the 70's afraid I'm stuck in a 'time warp' around a Century or so ago, and your going to have to get up early to beat these two girls. Barges, yes Pater and the other Panery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I still said Athertons Quay first though Cleo so I'm giving myself .01 of a point for that and I wasn't that far out with the barge name when I said Flowery Patterns if indeed one was 'Patern'. Maybe some of the letters had worn off so it became known as 'Patern' and you are both wrong again So was it Littons (Faircloughs) Mill or the other Mersey (Faircloughs) Mill then Algy ??
