Wigan Orchestral Society, 1949. My dad, Joe Shepherd is on trombone, 3rd in from the right on the back row. Don't know where the photo was taken.

Lovely photo of your dad Cathy. Nice memories. It looks like they are celebrating something.

Some beautiful looking instruments there . I wonder how many have survived . The violins in particular would have developed a lovely sonorous tone with age .

No music stands, they must be well versed in their repertoire.

I’ll have a guess at the Drill Hall for the location….? Great pic!

Looks like some church hall??? At that time every church had one. There wasn't a stage in the Drill Hall
