RESIDENTS can still do their bit to help bring back a piece of the town’s history.

Fundraisers at the Church of St Thomas and St John, in Blackburn Street, Radcliffe, are collecting donations to restore the town’s old civic window.

It is estimated that the total cost of repairing the window, which is more than 80 years old, and having it installed at the town centre church will be around £7,000.

The window was donated by the industrialist Walker Allen in 1935 to celebrate Radcliffe becoming a borough and was housed at the old town hall.

However, it was put into storage at Bury Museum when the town hall was decommissioned and has only recently been rediscovered.

If you would like to help bring the window back to Radcliffe, please make your donation to: St Thomas and St John’s Church, account number 40797979, sort code 20-16-08.
