It was behind Fir Tree flash Mo, off Wigan rd or Firs/Plank lane.

Jimmy the one in Lilford Woods , we always called it Devils Hollow , I broke my arm , there I rode down it on a bike for a bet

and broke my arm



, ive never heard the name Lucky Shallow ,not been down there for maybe 40 years , but it seemed very deep in them days .

Seven Hills it was Ian. It was somewhere you could ride your bike at it had two swings. There was also the Family Tree also near the football/rugby pitch.

I think Lilford used to have 7 hollows and Devil's Hollow but my memory may be playing tricks.





They seemed very scary to ride a bike through.

The Yoyo was just behind Fir Tree Flash at the back of Edna Rd Labour Club and Laxey Crescent etc.

Devils hollow was at the far end of the park close to the old railway and Staffords farm. My dad used to tell us it was an old ventilation/escape shaft for the pit.

Lucky Hollow was near Lilford but a bit closer to our street pal, used to get to it through the trees in the back right corner of the field and was on the way to Lilford from there

Good fishing pond was the Lucky Hollow. On another note does anyone exactly know how deep the Delph was?

I learned to scuba dive in Eccleston delph and I think it varied in most parts 3 - 15 metres but the sink was the deepest point where the water fed from underground was over 20 metres

The legend was it had no known bottom

You learned to scuba dive in the Delph at West Leyth?

I think you are right RBs ,Devils Hollow was somewhere in the Centre of Lilford Woods , the 7 Hollows were small and near the Red Wall , as for riding a bike down Devils Hollow ?In them days the early 60s id do owt for a bet
