Wigan Album

I remember it well!

Still have some of the dishes from those times. They were left thrown on the ground so I picked them up . Many years ago now but just like yesterday really. I just missed out being in seperate yards because the Girls and Boys became mixed the year before I started. I remember standing at the top on Higher lane with my Mum watching the children playing out, with the wall in place.

Do you remember the toilets being out side as well martin it used to be freezing in winter you tried to hang on as long as possible because you didnt want to go in there how did we survie, could you imagine that nowadays.

The lad's urinal was like a gutter with a wall round it, some lads used to pee over the top of the wall and drench anybody who happened to be at the other side!

Guess what Duncan I have a guilty secret....I was one of the little people who used to scale those wee walls.

Does anyone remember this place being the Nappie(spelling?) disco? It used to get rammed packed on Fridays, first club I ever went to!
