A Question of Thought winners
The Sue Barker A Question of Thought quiz night was hosted by the Boothstown Conservative Club, on Mosley Common Road.
After a fiercely fought 10 rounds, each consisting of 10 grueling general knowledge questions the victors were Blakemore plus two. Pictured left
A regular visitor to Mosley Common Road this traction engine is pictured
steaming up the hill to-wards the East Lanc's Road on Tuesday May 5th.
My guess is that it is returning from the Flixton steam rally held at
the bank Holiday weekend., But I would like to know who the crew are,
and where it goes to once it crosses the East lanc's.
This steamer is seen several times a year going up Coupe Brow, but I
have never seen it going down, now there is a mystery, how come it is
always coming back, without firstly going to wherever it has been?
No doubt some keen eyed Bugle reader will be able to give me the answers.

Following my appeal for information about
this steam tractor I have discovered that it was made by Clayton and shuttleworth
in 1913. It is engine No. 46059, named Lucy Ashton.
It is owned by George Coles wearing the orange coat, the steersman is
Malcolm Hartley. It was as I thought returning from the Lancashire Traction
Engine Club May Day steam event at Flixton. I still don't know where it
was heading so if you know where it lives please let me know.
I have also received a picture of another engine below which I am told
passes through Boothstown frequently look out for it
