Thanks Alan,
Les Bromilow is my dad, he died last year and it is a lovely surprise to see him on Wigan World this morning.
I wonder if there is a way to download this picture and print it out (if that's OK with you).

a little shop opposite McCurdy's in Scholes

Julie click on the photo ,then rightclick and click on Save picture as it will then go onto your photos.
Sorry Julie, we did'nt do computing at Whelley. My fault, I know how to do it now. Les is on another photo 1946. He is on the Front row with a white long sleeved shirt, he would be 11/12 then
Hi Alan
There seems to be 2 Julies on here. I would love to have a copy of this photo and the other one you put on. I have a copy of the one where he is wearing the white shirt. The man who posted it (can't remember his name now) sent it to me. I am particularly interested in the fact that you remember the shop. I will be coming down to Wigan next month and if possible would love to meet you for a chat.
Julie
Julie I will meet you, I live in Heskin,some 10 miles out of Wigan. I remember the shop and his mate Jimmy Greenalgh.
Last time i saw Les was in 1949 and I seem to remember David Oxley and him were going to start work at Clarington Forge
Hi Alan
What a terrific memory you have, you are right he did work at Clarington Forge. I have put my email address, if you can email me then I will have your email address to let you know when I am coming down from Scotland and we can arrange a meeting.
Thanks
Julie
What a surprise to see my big sister (Osa Old) in the photo and the previous year one.I emailed a copy of the photo to her last week. She lives just outside Glasgow now having moved there in 1958.
As a rider to my comment from 2017, with regret, Osa Old passed away aged 90 in September 2023 in Glasgow following a fall at her home. Her husband (my Brother in Law died in October 2021.
