Wigan Album

The boy extreme right on the 2nd row from the top is Jack Lyon.
The boy extreme right on the 3rd row from the top is Stanley Oldfield.Stan joined the Police Force on leaving school

The boy 3rd from the left on the 2nd row from the top looks like Graham Lyon who was Jacks brother.Unfortunately he died a number of years ago

Second row down third from the left is Graham Lyon and I think his brother Jackie is on the same row at the end. They both lived in Spring View, near the railway bridge.
