Sheep House Lane, which leads to Belmont, was a particular problem for vehicles, with Chorley Police currently working with Lancashire County Council to look to close Sheep House Lane, Rivington Road (outside the Black Dog pub), Knowsley Lane, Higher House Lane and Dean Head Lane.

Now can any of his former Grange Park pupils recognise themselves in this picture? John, who sadly passed away two years ago, put down strong roots in south Lancashire after signing for Saints from Newport on January 1, 1965 - making his debut three weeks later. He would go on to have a magnificent career in the red vee - having the distinction of winning in the 1966, 1972 and 1976 Wembley teams from three different positions in a 435-game stint for Saints. But off the field, too, he made his mark after graduating from Loughborough College and going into the teaching profession.
