Booths Brow Road
Photo: Susan Atkins (nee Atherton)

This picture is of My 2 brothers Kevin & Brent, Brian Hardman and myself posing on top of the dirt rook at the back of our houses. This rook was next to Bill Jobs garage, which is where the infamous Pig Street once stood. We would have been looking towards the opening to the backyard to our houses. The graveyard would have been behind us so does anyone know what the old building in the background is? It seems to be where the new part and garden of remembrance is nowadays. I would date this picture about 1957/58.
