Hi Tony Gallagher. It has been a long time - must be more than fifty years! It's good to hear from you again - sorry about the late reply - I don't often look at these pictures.

Regarding Tony Cunliffe - it was sad loss. Tony was good friend of mine and remember being shocked when I heard of his accident.
Hello John,
This web page was brought to my attention recently - an excellent piece of work John. Lots of memories there!
Great photo, Frank Cheetham was my dad, who we sadly lost 2 years ago. We would love a copy of this photo - email me if possible.
The house on the other side of the wall is the top house in Church Terr., ( Foggs Place) Tommy and Lizzie Lowe lived there at that time , the houses in the background are backs of John Street.
i remember george hutchins geogie wong john ruane and of course mick mooney a great lad great memories
Michael Mooney is my cousin. Rather lost touch with that side of the family. A coloured photo would have shown his good head of red hair, just like my dad's. Pity no one mentioned his Rugby League career.
HI,JOHN
NICE PHOTOS,A PHOTO OF YOU AND I AS JUST TURNED UP.
LET ME KNOW IF WANT TO SEE IT
I fell off that bloody wall and broke my wrist and arm. It looked much taller when we were kids, perhaps it was because I was the smallest in our class, along with Ricky Kenyon. Ricky's Mam had a toffee shop on Hardybutts and his dad Dick had been a pro boxer.
I've been away from Wigan for many years, I will be delighted to show my children/ grandchildren the photograph of St Pat's. Is Anthony Gallagher still around ? I currently split my time between Maine USA and Berkshire UK
Does anyone know the name of the boy in middle row with the white teashirt and glasses on,i think is first name was michael.
Hi Ed, the boy in the middle row wearing the white T-shirt and glasses is my dad John Ruane. Sadly we lost him in July 2005.
the missing name I think is Bernard harmer,if I,m not mistaken harmers&birmingham left wigan for leyland
