And just look at the long evening gloves !
I bet they had strappy silver shoes on as well.
Lovely pic Brian.
Brian, do you know if the lady Dora Lowe lived on wigan road, if yes
did she have a sister named Ann.
What lovely dresses. I wonder if the ladies made those themselves?
I've always loved long evening gloves,only worn them once though,to a wedding.I can remember my Mum having some strappy silver dancing shoes.Lovely evocative photo.x
What great photos! Made me think my mom might have attended these dances - she would have been in her teens to 20s. Her name was Alice Green from Bryn.
Veronica Almond's shop in Scholes sold all this glamorous attire. Me and my childhood friend spent hours gawping in the window. Again wishing we were grown up...
The middle couple Joe Chisnall was my mothers cousin
Yes,can remember Veronica almond's shop and Margaret Smith's, they always had classy clothes.
Very glamorous these ladies dresses, lovely photo Brian.. My sister in law got her wedding dress from Veronica Almond's, they've just had their 65th anniversary.
