DORSET Road Community Centre – ‘The Bridge’ – will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year.

The management committee has been attempting to find out if anybody can help establish who organised the campaign for a community centre on Hag Fold, Atherton, which asked residents to buy a brick for a pound, and what happened to these donations.

These celebrations will be held jointly with Atherton Pre-School Day Care (St Richard’s Atherton Pre-School), which has been providing an outstanding nursery provision for the people of Atherton for the past 50 years.

The Queen’s 90th birthday will be celebrated at the same time, so it will be a great party, the details of which will be announced shortly.

If you can shed some light on the bricks for the community centre please e-mail dorsetroadcc@yahoo.co.uk, contact the centre on 01942 884184 or call me on 07901 605648.
