The Town was certainly better under Featherstone Urban District Council. We would still have our Swimming Baths, Town Hall, a Park with a fountain, bowling green, boating lake and a ranger that kept the children in order. No-one was afraid to use the park in those days. Station Lane was busy with a good selection of shops. WMDC has certainly been the death of Feath.
i have to agree with you i used to play in that fountain in purston park and on the boating lake and we wouldent have dared to do anything wrong
