Wigan Album

Think this was taken probably 1951-52,not near the brook but in the communal back yard

Oh wow, what a smarty pants, uncle Peter, fabulous photo. Thank you for this. Don't think he dos online but my cousin Howard, his son has so sending it to him. Still no sign of my one with mum....will keep trying

Hi Elaine,so glad you liked the photo,we certainly knew how to dress well back in the early 50s especially the lads,even down to the folded up hankie in their top pocket!!!! Could you maybe post your photo on this page Elaine,just a thought x

I have tried to register with the site so I could upload but it says there is a problem and the we team are working on it. So I will keep trying but I did not realise before you could not upload a photo with out being a member!!!! I have emailed the address as well but they have not been in touch, it's been a month now ....help I want to share my photo!!!

Hi Elaine,all I did was take a photo on my tablet of the picture you want to upload and follow the instructions for"upload your photos" on Wigan Album page.lm no expert but I hope it helps x

hi Eileen are you the same Eileen Radcliffe who left Ince central school in 1958 & went to Hindley & Abram school. Did you & a few friends help out Mrs Foster in 1b for about 3 weeks before going to Hindley at Ince central school.

Hello Stuart,
Your name seems familiar but I can't place you, I did leave Ince Central school and went to Hindley and Abram but that was in 1956,and I did help out at Ince Central School around the same time, should I know you Stuart?6qis3

hi Eileen i was in Mrs fosters class in 1958 at Ince central school . If it was you who helped out at that time do you remember saying to me that my mother was you god mother.

Hi Stuart,
I definitely remember helping out at Ince Central,it must have been after I started at Hindley and Abram,if your mum's name was Maggie and her maiden name was Hindley then we will have had the conversation,you must have an amazing memory!!
Your mum and my auntie Annie were great friends,and they both were my godmothers,in fact I'm sure I have a photo somewhere in the house of the two of them,if I can find it I'll post it on this page on Wigan World so keep checking!
Nice to hear from you x

hi Eileen my mothers maiden name was Maggie Hindley & lived in common nook before getting married.I would like to see the photo of her with your auntie Annie . Also i never new Jackie may but i did know her brother Philip . Nice to be in contact with you after so many years .

Hi Stuart
I've also been trying to upload the photo with little success but keep watching because I'm determined!
Jackie May emigrated to Australia back in the 60s and has lived there ever since,Phllip and her other brother Tony also went out there. I keep in touch with her so I will mention you x

Hi Stuart,
The picture is on page 1 of the Wigan Album site, hope you like it x

hi Eileen , Have found some more photo,s of can row flood on ww. They are classed as Amberswood terrace ( can row)photos posted by Arthur Pilkington . You may have seen them before, sorry to see some of your photo,s have been lost due to the breakdown of the site on 14th october .

Hi Stuart, I have uploaded my photo of Factory Fold again on this page but I am struggling to remember the comments on the same photo which was lost,
I remember asking you at one point about the comment you made to Terry (Halsall) about the house in the distance on the Can Row photo, I don't remember it,who lived there?
I can't find the picture of my Auntie Annie and your mum, so I'm going to upload it again, thanks for keeping in touch x

Hi Eileen , The house on the common in the background , i have been inside this house many years ago with cousin Susan. I am afraid i cant recollect the name of the people living there at that time . I had hope that terry may have enlightened me on this . I will try to make further enquiries about this matter.

Hi Stuart,
Just to ask, have you seen the improved photo of your mum and my Auntie Annie,it is much better than when I uploaded it, hope you are well

Hi Eileen ,I have seen the improved photo of mum & auntie Annie . I am glad you like it, I did try to contacted you by E- mail but the address on ww must be an old one . I wonder why Graham decided to crop that particular photo , i am glad he did.

Yes Stuart,the photo is much better,hope you are well
