This view is looking at the area where the Post Sorting Office is now. The chimney on the right Horizon is John Englands. the Streets just behind us were Mona St and Richmond St
We used to go up the fire-escape at dinner times when it was nice weather in summer (not allowed really). Just kids messing about. Gerry who took the picture?. Great days looking back, lots of lads and lasses working hard but still had some great times, SAD TO SAY NOT LIKE THAT TODAY.
Wish I could go back in time to visit them all again, some I won't see again till we have that great Coops reunion in the sky. What about the Siver Jubilee of 1977?, what a day to remember at Coops. I won £25 in the canteen draw.
Brian Walsh too the picture (see more on Wigan World /work/coops) I left coops in 1973 just after getting married and went to Goodmans at Westhoughton for £25 a week instead of making you own wage on nipping and draping.. Dave we must have meet up and a few pints
