What is the black & white Tudor type building in the background ?
It's the lodge of Wigan Rectory, on New Market St/Frog Lane, Helen.
Is that not Dick Parkinson in the group? Had many a pint & chat wi' him in the Pear Tree ;o)
Who could that handsome chap on the left be? Me perhaps, the rest from left to right are Dave ,Jean ,Chris,Dick and Gary Parkinson, as always Jill's got the camera.Bluecoat Infants to the right, Frog lane at the rear.
My Grandparent lived in The Lodge, Hallgate, Wigan. Is this a picture of the Lodge that I see on the Census?
The houses at the bottom of Hallgate must surely be the closest to the town centre. Also the Parish church verger and his wife lived in the house where the archway to the rectory is, and were subjected to a violent burglary in 1984, after which they moved. The Mk3 Ford Cortina VTC618L has twin headlamps being a GT or top of range GXL model.
