This would have been a carnival. The girl in front was Betty Havelin. I was a little girl then and was mascot but not on the picture.

Didn't Betty Havelin move to Southend on Sea when she got married I married a lad from Essex and used to travel to London on the train with Betty on a couple of occasions . If my memory serves me right she married a lad named Alan Tremayne
Hi Cathy Betty still lives in London she divorsed her first husband then she lost her partner last year we still send xmas cards
Next time you send her a card ask if she remembers travelling from Wigan to London with me My name was Close before I married
My mum said she was in the aspull morris dancers,her name then was margaret meadows, or seddon, anyone know if she's on this pic.
The gable end to the wall at the back right of the picture was owned by my grandad Billy Croston. He also had 2 more shops on that row but i think that they was rentals. Uncle Pierce used to live in the houses to the right of the picture and had a couple of cattle trucks.
My mum and my auntie was in the morris dancers do you have any pictures it was Mary mercer and Ivy mercerf
The gable end was later owned by my aunt. Olive Acton, née Wilkinson.
I remember Crostons having a grocery type shop next door to my grandma's ironmongers at the other end of the block. Then after crostons two shops which were knocked into one. Was Ethel Steele. Then Alan Wilkinson. Then Billy Causey Then the end shop. My aunt lived there in the early 60s.
