This picture was taken opposite the TSB when it was in King Street. It was probably during lunch break. Notice our very classy uniforms (I don't think) but we thought we were 'the bees knees'.
Left to right are:
Carole Tootle, Christine Carr ,Doreen Davies, Liz Fairclough,Christine Knowles,Anne Bennett,Margaret Wall,Pauline Welsby.

Hi Margaret,
Do you remember my Mum, Jeanette Lusher (nee Hardman)? She worked at Wigan TSB around this time.

Yes I do remember your mum Jennifer, Although we didn't work together for very long. I think your mum rose to the dizzy heights of Mr Bent's assistant in the Inspection Department.

Yes, I remember the uniforms!!We are outside what is now the Walkabout Bar.The only pubs in King Street at that time were the Shakespeare Hotel,(a favourite on a Friday after balancing cash,next door but one to the TSB)and the Derby Arms at the corner of King Street and Chapel Lane. Thanks for photos again,Margaret.

WOW!!! Seems like a lifetime ago. I remember most of the girls in the pic (especially you Margaret .......)and more besides. Pat Ellis - nee Smith, Joan Stretton, Alison Tatlock, Judith Clayton, Stella Richardson and I expect there's even more I've forgotten. D'ya remember working 9.00am to 9.00pm in November every year for the annual balance when the interest was added?? Then there was 'Mr. Bent's Academy' on a Monday evening. The days before computers when everything was fountain pens and ledger cards and all entries were done by hand - the staff would never cope with that today, I'm sure.

I worked at Wigan TSB at this time I remember Anne Bennett, she went on to train as a teacher at Chorley as did I and Lyn Worsley.
I rmember Mr Bent he was quite frightening and I never saw him smile ?
