Tina,
I have been out of circulation for a couple of months and
am just catching up on the 100s of Emails.
I have not heard anything about a motorway services near St. Oswalds church
being planned but do know that the nearby Parkside Colliery, now cleared,
was considered for a road distribution centre and later as a EuroRail
Terminal. Residents of Winwick have objected so perhaps either the
Warrington Guardian, St. Helens Reporter or St. Helens Star, (all online)
contain some information.
I have not located the well but know that a capped resevoir is behind the
church, away from the A49 road. If you have good directions to the well,
please send them to me.
Regards Mike

Subject: St Oswalds well
Hello to all the list, I have heard news lately of a
well under threat but have been unable to find out
details or if this is true. Through a third party I
have been told that St Oswalds well, Winwick,
Warrington (cheshire) is being threatened by motorway
service type development. I know this development is
being opposed, there is an action group working
against it called the Green Junction 8 campaign, but
cannot find out if it is true that the well is under
threat. Does anyone out there know, or can find
anyone I can get in touch with. Thanks, Tina Martin
