Wigan Album

Another very nostalgic photo Margaret.Taken on the cobbles at the entrance to the school,at the side of the wall of the church with IGL in the background.
I would have thought the year would have been 1952,the lads on the picture were slightly older than me.
I recognise a lot of them but some names elude me at the moment.
Thanks again for the picture.

A lovely photo of a more innocent age, Margaret.

Dress Code:- Smart Casual
Those were the days!

all the front row sat like right little madams, with hands clasped and legs crossd at the ankles, but I am sorry to hear that Joe Kennedy had passed away, he used to live near to me till he got the bungalow down the view, I lost contact with him when he went that way
