4th from the right middle row Roy Pitcher

4th from right next to back row ken sturgeon

Front row 1st right looks as if it could be my cousin, Jean Roughley.

is her maiden name Orrell if it is that's her

Anne, her name as a child was Roughley. On reflection, if the approximate date of 1950/51 for this shot is right, it couldn't have bee Jean as she would have been about 12/13 years old by then and in secondary school.

This is a blast from the past of faces from my befuddled memory bank.Colin Blackledge who is stood to the right of Freddie Melling was killed in a motorbike accident going to work he was only 17 he was a friend of Freddie and mine as we played football for the schools st Cats and whelley also wigan school boys, next time you see Freddie Anne say hi for me as i havnt seen him 50 odd years

Hello Roy, I will do that I have been married to Freddie for the last 50 years . He says hello.

2nd row third from the left is a girl named Jean Wadsworth. She lived in a shop on the corner of Higham St and Belvoir St. The family emigrated to Canada.
