i was at low hall in january 1958.i remember it well.
I'm the lad on the left with my arms folded. Can't remember any other names, but I remember Low Hall well.
I left Bickershaw and emigrated to Australia in 1969 and am now a retired Deputy Mine Manager. We hope to visit Wigan/Leigh again in 2009.
As far as I recall, this is the line-up:
Back row: ?, ?, Mick Clare, John baldwin, Eddie Caddick,?, ?, Me, Fish.
Middle five: ?, ?, ?, Al Burrows, Winstanley.
Front Row: You, Toothill, ?, Les Dickinson, ?, ?
Me? I'm the name at the top responsible for sending the pic in ;o)
