December 2007 Archives
WORLD War II soldier Doug Mayman unearthed forgotten diaries while rummaging in the loft of his Aughton home.
They brought back vivid memories of his wartime days from more than 60 years ago.
His initial thought was that no-one would be interested in them and he gave them to his two daughters Merron Mitchell and Joy Murphy to have a look at.
ORMSKIRK holds many historical tales and stories which date back centuries.
Historian Mona Duggan from Haskayne has tracked down most them in her books.
Her new book brings together accounts of the people of Ormskirk in a detailed history, starting with the hunter-gatherers appearing on the shores of Formby right up to the tragedy of the Ormesher sisters’murders in the late 1950s.
