there you go Kath your majesty

Hi Alan and Cliff sad to say I was not the queen on the picky and sorry I can not remember who was,she must have been a little older than us.I remember that year at walking day everybody was in red white and blue,I think have a picky somewhere I will have a mooch.

aww, sorry K it wasn,t you, well your my Queen.

I was the coronation queen aged about 9. Next to Margaret Flemming (who I am still in contact with) is Jean Culshaw. The crowning was done by Bill Spencer. I lived in Portland Street and if anyone has any other 'photos of the locality would love to see them.

nice pic of you Sylvia you look like Queen all serene, I cant say I can recall you I lived round the corner in Windsor St. oh and tell Margaret I,m still in love with her.

Sylvia I remember your name. Didn't you have cousins at St Georges at the same time. I just have this vague memory. Can't remember any names.

Message from Buck Palace in Blackrod. Cousin Barbara Birchall did go to St Georges school. She is 2 yrs older than me. Margaret lives in Leyland and when I see her next will pass on your message.

Yep. Recall the name Barbara Birchall but can't recall the face.

Sylvia did your mam and dad used to mate around with Sheila Connah,s mam and dad at one time.Did you have any brothers or sisters, and did you move over to Great Acre or am I on the wrong family sorry if I am.

Can anyone put names to anyone else,and can tou recall where the pik was taken.

the sign at the back, who,s rod?

Cliff you silly boy,Rod was the one who saved the queen because you were nattering in the girls yard. boom boom

Actually Rod was the local nancy.

Thanks for clearing that up, I sleep easy now
thanks again

You are partly right Kath. Parents moved to West Mount opposite the Connahs and socialised as part of St Georges crowd. Harry Flemming was Prince Phillip in the 'photo. Dont know any other names apart from the ones mentioned. I was an only child. Asked cousin Barbara if she remembered Cliff but says only vaguely. Sure the pic was taken at the bottom of Portland Street.

Cliff you are very welcome. Anytime I can be of help.

Sylvia do you recall the Ingrams and the Masons related to Mrs Lancaster from the shop next door to Sheila Connah,s in Turner St.These are names I can just about remember.

ur right about Portland street Syl I just saw evelyn Crank peepin through the curtains

Funny Cliff Higham din't get his boat race on this photo, its on everything else.

seems Joe Fairurst, owd georges bad boy, never appears of mumbles about old times, he was around in them days, must be a shy old boy these days, unless he,s pushin up sods somewhere.

Cliff cant see you on the pic. Is that May Queen Barabara Culshaw. Cliff do you recall the woodyard.

Cliff Higham just pretends to be on all the photos he is a pest. It's just me and Al on this one,

and 8 others, behave

I dont remember this and whats Alan Addlington on it for ...
Talk about Cliff Higham getting where water won't...
In fact I'll bet he's on here somewhere .. just out of shot .. or hiding behind one of the girls!
