Fred, I used to live in Troutbeck Rise, at the back of you,we had a pup off your dog a long time ago, he always went back to your house to visit you. I remember your mum and dad and ronnie, my name then was Dorothy Holden, what happy times we had in those days, my mother is still alive she lives with me.

my mum and her parents (Gaskell's) lived at 16 Troutbeck Rise in the late 1960's and 1970's.

Hey Darren,

Did you grow up in Troutbeck Rise or Norley Hall.? If you did you are one of the priviledged few from that estate which I and others consider to be one the best parts of Wigan, to be from. I missed those people very much when I lived in Canada. We were not rich but we had riches in our life with good people around us who looked out for each other and were the most genuine and sincere folks around.

Take care.
