Great picture. I remember Mr Dale his housed backed onto my dad's garden (Tom Hunt in Bank Street, Platt Bridge. Both were true gents...thanks for posting.
I MADE A MISTAKE IT WAS PRIMATIVE METHODIST CHURCH NOT WESLEYAN.
Hi Bill. Where exactly was Morton's shop ? Good pic by the way.
mortons shop was on walthew lane faceing the top of platt street
I was in a bit of a panic when I saw mr. Howarth & Mr. Dale - both were senior members of Platt bridge Primitive Methodist Church. Walking Day was always the 3 Platt Bridge methodist Churches.
Wonderful memories of Zion Methodist church walking days,My Dad,Sydney was in charge of the banner and also choirmaster,he died 2007 age 99 and Mum Nellie died 2003 age 92.We left the area in Sept 1951 for Blackpool so that would be our last official walking day.Thanks for the viewing.
The man in the white trilby is Sam Foster,Mr Howarth is on Sam's right nearest the pavement.The Minister of Zion Methodist at that time I believe was Rev.Oxborough.
Johny Dale was my Great Uncle known as Uncle Jack (My Nan Florance Withington nee Dale was his older sister
