Anne enjoyed all your family photos, brought back happy memories visiting my uncle Bob Glover and his wife aunt Lizzy daughters Mary and Ann who lived in WOOD street just off Chapel lane i can recall how Chapel lane was like in the 50's. they moved into the tall flats at Scholes i think it was Douglas House when the houses were pulled down. Thanks Anne

Small world Carol, Lizzie and Bob moved to Marsh Green he was steward at St. Thomas' Labour Club and I worked for him behind the bar. My dad and Bob were great friends. I went to his house many times when I was a chid living in Chapel Lane.
