Nice to see a family group, there was probably some "meaning" to the dairy implements and such a special day, nice to see a shot of your dad again.

Fred Hough had a daughter named May, we were in the same infants class at Aspull Methodist school in the 50s, Look under Aspull Methodists school you will see a photo of our class, May is in the photo 3rd in from right middle row. I know Tommy Barker also went to this school.

Sorry David, you are right, wrong chap oops. However, I knew these chaps when I was a kid, each and everyone was a fine fellow. Tommy lived at Moss Pit didn't he, a smashing chap, he would know me, Eric Southern's younger brother Walter, I married the girl next door to him. Mind you, i'll bet you are pleased people are looking great photos, Good one of him and his mum.
