Wigan Album

Hi Janice, Look at all those people,those were the days when Churches had big congregations. I remember the gas lamps and the lamplighter.. Heavens above, some of us are getting old..

What a lovely photo Janice and what a sight for sore eyes that would be to see these days.

Another good photo janice, wow i walked up and down there so many times good memories thanks janice.

Great photo. As you say, those were the days, far away from the trainers & jogging bottoms seen today. I too remember the lamplighter coming on his bicycle with the long pole to light the lamp outside the old school at Holland Moor. He never got off his bike. We are lucky to have these childhood memories of a time when you were still out playing after the lamps had been lit.

great photo janice .the days when people cared for the community and was proud to .
