Congregation Members Profiles
Robin Ainsworth I
I was
born at ‘The Nurseries’,
My early
education took place at
I married
Brenda in 1959 at Bank Street Unitarian Chapel and adopted a girl and a boy. We
are now blessed with 6 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren and still counting.
(It’s a good job Brenda enjoys knitting!)
My
connections with Bank Street go back a long way. I served on a lot of chapel
committees and was pleased to be invited to become a Trustee of Bank Street
Chapel in 1963 and continue as such for the Church today. Over the years I have
enjoyed collecting various bits and pieces which document the history of the
Chapel/Church and have some details
which other members might find interesting. These include the journey of the
stained glass windows from the former chapel to ITV studios and regular exposure
on TV, which can still be seen on
youtube! Do ask me if you’d like to know more!
An
experience which I found particularly interesting was involvement in the
promotion of tourism in Bury and
the setting up of a tourist office when I was president of the Chamber of Trade.
I like to think that such important developments as Bury’s Premier Inn and The
Village leisure facility owe their existence to the imagination and vision of
those involved in the early stages of planning for the town’s future growth.
One of
the things I enjoy most in life is holidaying in the Llyn Peninsular where we
are fortunate to spend at least one month a year.
