^^^^ You are all in, I am just waiting to see if Chilling's techincal issues are resolved and he has a change of heart before allocating numbers in the draw.
Having stood in recently in the North v. South RYDER CUP which was great fun, I'm sure this will be just as good..... and being born in Preston myself, I want to support you too. (Apparently we lived in Fulwood.....moved to Sheffield when i was 18months old, but grandparents lived at Lostock Hall)
FA Cup style.....if your PNE....I'll be 'The OWLS'
I was born daaan saaafff but I consider myself a naturalised northerner now. Lived in Lostock Hall for about 6 years, in Penwortham now. I do support the mighty PNE.

WOW.....not many people know Lostock Hall at all (there's a horse of the same name in training currently and has managed to win twice now over hurdles...i think) My Grandparents had a shop which I believed was initially converted into a bank, then a Dr's surgery. 440 Leyland Road just down the road from the Newsagents, SPAR and chippy...used to be the main road to Blackpool and so busy when I was a kid....but been by-passed years ago now.

Looks like it's back to a house now (checked on googlemaps streetview).
When we lived there (early-mid nibeties) there was a Natwest bank on the other side of the road (opposite Tardy Gate pub) but that closed a long time ago.
There is a newish doctors surgery further up the road towards preston, I remember it being built, so maybe they moved out into there
Mrs P and I lived on Albrighton Road, our first house together, had our first child there, so plenty of happy memories for me too.

They sadly died in the '70's.....and the house was sold and I'm pretty sure became either a bank or Dr's Surgery, but it was on same side as SPAR...heading into Preston/Blackpool. It will have changed so much I'm sure...... I remember going over the main road(as it was then) and going to the children's park about 400yards away......probably a Housing Estate now !!!
Great that you know it though......not very many people do
It's the house to the right with the white door, two doors down from the computer shop.
There is a childrens rec behind the car park behind the SPAR where the annual carnival finishes. It souds like the park you used to go is somewhere else though?

Thanks for the link to Google Maps, I'd never thought to look there. It can't have been no.440...... My Grandparents shop is now the Medical Centre down the road. (I thought it was a Doctor's) .....It had changed to that when I visited it 20years ago, last time I was in Preston
Having taken a walk on google maps.....we used to cross the road, down Marina Grove and the park we played on was the open grassland on Lourdes Avenue, though we did play on the rec. too.....Great memories
