the thing is unfortunately google as well as many other search engines aren't helpful when it comes to getting answers. info provided on the wikipedia-likes is very generic, stereotypical and in many cases not accurate (meaning WRONG). and yeah I do think the best way to get the accurate info is to actually ask people who may have some memories or may be even were participants of any of the events. our memories is all we really own, hahaha as they say. but yeah I get it, may be its fine, I answered once of course I can answer that question again. which I did. and yeah sports history is my hobby. which sports? sounds funny, but almost any, I truly find it interesting to read about sports and sportsmen, not just of the past, which I truly enjoy, but especially of the modern times. I am a professional sportsman myself, most of my life goes either at the gym or on the dance floor. so you can imagine what it is.

Its actually very funny, BUT you arent the first person on this forum who asks me the same question. Honestly to hear the same question asked over and over again is truly depressing. And yes I answered this question several times already and will repeat again - I am a ballroom dance teacher from Ohio USA...I do not write any books, may be some day I will write one on Latin Dancing Technique...But you asking made me think - DO YOU GUYS HAVE HOBBIES AT ALL? OR YOU DO RESEARCHES to make living ONLY ??? Now can you picture that there ARE people in the world who have hobbies, and do researches for fun as a hobby. Hard to imagine right?

clog fighting/shin kicking contests were widely practiced by local colliers in South East Lancashire during 1800's. Bolton, Rochdale, Bury, Wigan, Salford, Oldham and other areas. There were famous Pendlebury Purrers  Two combatants stripped to their waists would apply hold of each other shoulders (and elbows) and will kick each others shins. The loser was the one who fell on the ground first, or gave up, or even released the initial hold. Those were the rules to the best of my knowledge. I have heard that contests continued illegaly till 1950's. Thanks.

Dear Friends, who has any memories about the clog fighting/shin kicking/purring/pawsing contests in West Riding, Yorkshire please be welcome to share. I will highly appreciate that. Recently I found on BritishNewspaperArchives reports of regular clog fighting matches at Castle Hill, Huddresfield in the 1800's. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Ruslan

Lancashire / Annual Fair at Stonefold, Haslingden
« on: Sunday 28 January 18 13:23 GMT (UK)  »
My inquiry is about wrestling contests which were part of Annual Fair at Stonefold, Haslingden Rossendale Valley, Lancashire few decades ago (in 1970s-1980s).
According the info provided those contests it was advertised as "Cumberland Wrestling Competition".
Location was most likely - "Winfields, Acre, Rossendale", which is on the A680 near Haslingden. A few farms are behind Winfields. I am not quite familiar with local geography. I would highly appreciate any info on that subject. Thanks.Kind regards, Ruslan
