Sorry lads, but I don't remember those faces. Taylor Bros built our estate, Vicarage Estate, in Worsley Mesnes, in about 1967 to 1969 or 1970. We moved in in Sept. 1968, and it hasn't fallen down yet. Frank Adamson was the hod carrier in those days. He is the only one whose name I can remember. Frank died quite a few years ago. He was a rum lad was Frank.

I remembered taking Harold Taylor and his pal Harry Woods onto Wembley field for the cup final, must have been about 1960. I often met Harold and Brian at Holland Hall back in those days.
