I WOULD like to bring to the attention of the Farnworth public, the following list, all of which have one thing in common - they have all had their poppy collection boxes stolen from their premises by some despicable young person/s.

Perhaps one day their turn may come!!

To quote the collector's words to him and those who lost loved ones "Stolen poppy boxes are stolen memories."

Morris Butcher (Market Street); Brookes Pie Shop (Egerton Street); Stonehill Pharmacy (Piggot Street); Ellesmere DIY (Market Street); HBSC Bank (Market Street); Halifax Building Society (Brackley Street); Mistry (Minerva Road) and Bacon Joint (Brackley Street).
