We are expecting a new edition of The Billingers to be published quiet soon. There will be about 50 additional pages of photos, most of them provided by members of our society

 

 

This section contains our favorite old photos of Billinge. You will find houses, some of which are no longer there, views of Main Street, farm buildings, pubs and other interesting scenes of the village.

 

 

This section contains some of our favorite old photographs of Billingers. Some of them go back over one hundred years.

 

We put up a new folder in December 2007, with 43 new photos (after the a nature photos folder) which includes the first photo we have of the row of houses that once stood opposite birchley school. There are some nice old photos from the Eagle and Child in there too. Hope someone knows who they are

 

There are over 1000 old Billinge photographs in the archive galleries. There's a section on Billinge families and over 280 pages of written Billinge History that can be downloaded and read at leisure. These archives can also be accessed directly at www.billinge-history.co.uk.

 

In this folder there are about 300 colour photos showing most of Billinge's remaining stone houses as they are now with some older photos of how they used to be. You can take a walk round the village, starting at the top of Carr Mill Road and work your way round to the Running Horses.

We have been getting so much junk mail in our notice board that we've had to take out all the topics and just leave a notice up about the ward committees. We will probably close this section soon - it was good while it lasted
