Growing Up
A Memory of Shawforth.
I moved to Shawforth from Rochdale around 1977 and grew up on Knott Hill Farm. It was an idyllic childhood, with lots of good friends. I remember at least 5 shops and a library and the Red Lion pub. We spent lots of time playing in the surrounding hills. Building dens was my favorite pastime but we did lots of other great stuff like collecting bonfire wood and building go carts with the wheels from a Silver Cross pram. I also remember the rush cart and Whitworth fair, and the youth club at the chapel. Shawforth was a great place to grow up. I loved it.
