VIDEO: Vida's walkabout ... Oswaldtwistle 2:38pm Thu 27 Dec 07 LANCASHIRE Telegraph mobile internet journalist Vida Walsh has taken a trip to Oswaldtwistle to see what the town has to offer.
My trip to Oswaldtwistle took place on a nippy day earlier this month. Wrapped up in my winter coat, scarf and gloves I headed out into the town which is affectionately known as Ossy, or Ossie. (Which is the correct spelling for this pet name?)
Anyway, I am quite familiar with the town as my fiance works in the Stanhill area so it wasn't too difficult to know where to go and who to talk to.
