The Common Room / Re: R.A.O.B. or Buffaloes

I am looking for more information on the RAOB that would have been at Brittania Lodge, Leigh, Lancashire in 1959. They are referenced in the newspaper acknowledgments for my great grandmother.

I am told my grandfather James Ainsworth who was a miner at Bickershaw Colliery and lived at Plank Lane was a member of the "Buffs". Anyway that I can verify that ?

I think you will find the Leigh addresses were on the colliery (east) side of the canal, and the Abram side was (West) of the canal towards A580 and Warrington. As a reference point 138 Plank Lane was at the intersection with Horrocks Street. You can see this junction on Google Maps. Paul
