Remembrance Service, 2011

Watch the parade on YouTube!


An excellent book, Bollington 1914-1918 …and more, has been written by Dave Williams (husband of Vicar Veronica Hydon) and Roy Arnold, describing WWI in the context of its affect on Bollington and the families living here. It lists every Bollington man killed in both WWI and WWII, giving biographical details of their lives in Bollington before service in the military and as much as is known about their loss in battle. The book is available at St Oswald’s Church, the  Discovery Centre , the Bridgend Centre and other outlets, price £7.99. The profits are shared between the church and a charity, Combat Stress, which provides respite to those returning from wars with what used to be known as shell shock but is today known as post traumatic stress disorder.
