You haven't changed Gwen, a bit older, like all of us, but apart from that.. you look the same..

Hello Gwen, and I agree with Janet, you haven't changed a bit. I spent a lot of my time in Poolstock, Byrom St. in particular. A few names spring to mind, Harry Morgan, his brother Dennis, Eric Highton, Jacky Bradley.
The photo is great, and it shows how much trouble our parents went to before Walking Day. We used to walk on the Saturday as well as Sunday. No chance of that today. In fact I'm told St. James's has to walk with St. Mathews in High field this year.
Have you any more photos?

My family lived at 61 which is obscured by Gwen. Great place to live. Good happy times. Thanks for the memory.
