Wigan Album

this pic was taken at the bottom of the steps at menses park

The photographer was
Fred. W. Dew, The Studio, Park Road, Wigan ...circa 1920.
Hope this is of some help?

looks like the steps in wigan park

Susan I think Mary Ellen is on far left of middle row...

Mary Ellen attended women's meetings at the Queens Hall Methodist Mission in Wigan, don't suppose this picture shows this women's Mission?

Susan you are right had it confirmed earlier, these ladies are mostly the Sunday school teachers and some of them were there well into the 1940's and beyond

Hi Gem, don't suppose you have a bit more information about the ladies do you?

Thanks for the info 'the borg', Brian and Peter. I'm still trying to find more info but it's a start.

My Grandmother was Lavinia Attenbrough Holland of Wigan. Her father was James Holland a Miner. She married my Grandfather on Dec 27 1919. Could this be the same Holland Family

Hi Joe, will do some research and get back to you, there were a lot of Hollands in the Wigan area
