Wigan Album

“The good old days” brilliant photo Dennis catching the excitement of the day ahead, though the lad at the front with his arms folded look a bit apprehensive.

What a brilliant photo. There appears to be 100's of kids there, not all of the camera toting Japenese tourists of today jostling you as they try to get the perfect photograph. I lived in Windsor for a year (1978) just down the road from the castle

Good photo Dennis, There are at least four I recognize, Barbara Hulme, Harold Hilton, My elder sister Anne Southern and a young lass named Lorna but I can't think of her surname, and of course Mr Thomas the head master

just reconized three more, Jackie Robinson, Betty Felton and Frank Joint oh and Lorna's surname was then Fielding.

Girl on the front in the middle with dark hair and next to a boy is it Vera Ainscough? On the right girl with dark hair next to girl with check skirt is Olive Lewis?
