How could I forget to include on the 2nd pic. Vera and Olive Melling sitting at the front! they always wore beautiful identical clothing, I remember one of them getting her dress dirty and having to go home to change, they both returned in identical clean dresses!

A comment about the TWINS - I am Olive Melling (now Olive Mills, living in Leigh) and am sat on the left in both photos. My twin is Vera on the right(now Vera Booth, living in Orrell). We are still identical, meet several times per week and are regular members of Bethel Independent Methodist Church at Victoria Street Newtown.
