A mum has spoken out more than two decades after her son drowned in the same quarry where a Southport teen died earlier this month.
Ann Croston from Platt Bridge in Wigan spoke about the death of her son not long after returning from his grave to lay flowers. Craig Croston drowned in the water-filled Dawber Delph in Appley Bridge on September 26, 1999, after he went swimming with friends.
The well-loved 17-year-old was the first to die in the quarry with his death being followed by that of 13-year-old Miracle Godson, a promising rugby player at the same quarry in 2015. Since then the death toll at the quarry has risen to three following the death of 16-year-old Jamie Lewin on July 9.
