From left to right, Dick Barnes, Manager of the Empire Cinema, in the Wiend, notable for introducing "avante-garde" films to the Wigan public, Jack Bowen (my father) Landlord of the Crispin Arms, Birkett Bank (1950-56) and later the Wellfield Hotel, Beech Hill (1956-1974), and Norman Bibby who with his brother Arthur ran Clarington Coach company and was later Wigan RL chairman. Cannot identify the outing but can identify one of the Clarington Coaches and the date I guess would be in the early 1950's.
