Wigan Album

Is that Alan Atherton in the cap under the "Bird" in Bird Street ? He lived there for years before Pauline dragged him off to the altar. The neighbours had a whip round for his wedding present.....a one way ticket to Wigan

This photo was posted a while ago

If only... names were on this photo` I`m sure my father-in-law, Harold Ward Magnall and his sisters, would be on here!
Does anyone know if Bird Street school was near Edwin Street Ince, as I`m sure I remember him speaking of Bird Street?

Edwin st was one of those steep streets leading down to Darlington st from hardybutts area. So not near Bird St

l love this photo i have a copy of this from my nanna one of her sisters are on this Lizzie Brown she is next to the girl with the striped top on standing up

This is not a school photo, Christine, just a street photo, with "Bird Street" written on somebody's window. There was no Bird Street school.....the children here would have gone to Ince Central, Little Rose Bridge or, if they were Catholic, St. William's. Bird Street was and still is just off Manchester Road, near to Ince Bar, and is still cobbled.

A terrific photo - congrats on posting.

Hi, where on Bird Street is this? Is it the bottom, where the nursing home is now? Thank you!

Does anyone know who the young lad in the flat cap directly below the middle of the window is.He is the spitting image of my Dad, it could be by Granfather! Great photo just wish there were names

i think the photo was taken across from no 20 i lived at no 22 with my sister lizzie was my mam
