Taken approx 1946 - what is now the Town Hall.
The bus stop in Library Street has a lot of people waiting for the bus

That was the Ince and Hindley bus stop, queued up there on many occasions.

Just look at the Municipal Buildings! Stunning. Now just a facade and an empty life.

My Mother met my Dad, Bill Bradshaw at a dance at the college on the 1920's. He went to night school classes there in weaving , she was the daughter of Thomas Bryson, lecturer in mining there. According to my mother Dad wore an awful plum coloured suit to the dance but it obviously didn't put her off him .
