General (General discussion, talk about anything.)
Just recalling how my family arrived in Wigan and how they came to live in norley. Mum was evacuated from Liverpool during the war to Southport, to a lovely family. After a couple of years she was put on a train. aged 7, heading in the direction of Wigan where her Mum and Dad knew some of her family were. They were all put in a house on Ormskirk Road at Pemberton, where Lamberhead Green Workingmens club is now. There was at least three families sharing the house, and from what I can gather big families. When the house was demolished they were all re-housed on the new estate. I never actually lived there but remember the good times as grandchildren do. What surprised me the most is how much I do remember and such good ones!!!
