Places   (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)

Do you remember Hurst's grocers on Manchester Road, Aitch? Mr. Hurst was Walter Hurst's brother and his daughter Elizabeth is a friend of mine. Also, living where you did, I wonder if you remember my Auntie Rachel and Uncle Harry Aspey? They lived in Windermere Road. During my childhood as far back as I can remember, (late fifties/ early sixties), Auntie Rachel had long grey hair in a plait and both she and Uncle Harry often wore clogs. We used to visit them via Factory Fold, which fascinated me; it was so quaint in my eyes. Christine and I exchange Christmas Cards, so if she hasn't seen the poem by Christmas-time, I will put it in her card. Hope someone else comes up with memories, Aitch. I'll put a note on "General" to let people know.
