Wigan Album

There was a chap who worked at Melverly St bus depot used to ride a motorbike around, A triumph just like this with the rear fairing, blue colour. He used it for work, last time i saw him would be about 15 yrs ago, wondered if anyone recalls him.

Another great photo Dennis. Yes, your Triumph looks fantastic. I bought a 1956 Triumph Tiger Cub in about 1959/1960. I think Elgar Matthews had a Triumph as well. Poolstock in those days was a really nice place to live (and go to school)

Yes Elger Matthews had the same bike a Triumph 21 3TA just like the one in the picture used to see it when he was courting Ann Davies Snowden Ave Goose Green I got the same bike in 1964 for £35.

Jim, I can remember you tearing up and down Poolstock Lane on your Tiger cub they always sounded great. I still have a few bikes the one I ride most is a BMW 1200gs so different from the old British bikes we used to ride.
