Les Dawson 's Lanes

But it was a Manchester community which stuck together and lives on in the minds of those who have left it to the ravages of the developers. Lancashire mill folk and Blackpool landladies are also a fertile source of fun for Les - so they feature in this amiable amble around the people and places of his past. With Roy Barraclough Film editor DON CANDLIN

Championships of one of the world's oldest team sports. Tug of war is as old as time itself, but its history in Ireland can be traced back at least 200 years. During that period inter-village competition has produced teams that have beaten the best in the world.
