Thomas, did you live in Platt Bridge or near ?

Still do, Stephen.

Hi Thomas, I may have asked before but did you know my dad Tony Price. He's on the photo of the Haddington derailment. He was also president of Platt Bridge Labour Club for a time in the mid 70's. I'm also wondering if you had a son Stuart.

Hello Stephen,only saw your dad at the shed, didn't know him personally. Stuart is my cousin.

Thanks Thomas, In that case i know your Stuart quite well. We used to play football for CWS together way back in the 70's.
