I remember Percival's, Ron. As you say, grateful thanks to Trevor Smith. Wish Smith's bookshop was still there. Best bookshop in Wigan. My daughter worked there for a time.

The flower stall in the middle of the photo was the one used by Laurel Nurseries in Hindley. I stood the stall a few times in the 80s, with Harry Clay and Ian Brown. I can remember the smell of the chicken shop as though it was yesterday.
