Bought my boyfriend a gold signet ring for his 21st birthday in 1967 from here. The boyfriend and me got married and so the wedding ring was also bought here in 1968.Sadly we got divorced in 1980, both rings were sold and the money went towards a couple of bills !!!!!!! Great pic of a great shop.

I have just found a teaspoon with the whole logo - The Jewel Casket, Wigan and Leigh, on the reverse.
Must check out the building

To...Jean,

I met a lovely lass called Maureen, who worked at Bakers in 1962. I was a 16 year old butchers lad in the old Market Hall and she lived in Norley as I did.

I wonder where she is now, 2016..???
