This was given to my grandmother possibly at the same time as the canteen one.
Handwriting on the back:-
" With Compliments
The Mayor & Mayoress of Wigan
22/12/39"

The Fairhurst`s had a shop on the Corner of Frog Lane and Diggle St. I`m not sure if it was a grocer`s. I was 7 yrs.old when we moved from Diggle St.
