Where was it?
Is it the top of the Wimpy?

Was it near the canal at Martland Bridge?

Or was it miry lane.

It's in Miry lane..think it's Wilcock Street, turning left at Betty's will bring you to the railway bridge.

wilcox's st , i remember them building it , now 1st class motors ,before that barry browns garage before they moved across the rd then to orrell

Was it Peter Blond at one time?

Yes it was at Miry Lane,You've got it Maureen, No Gerry, it was never Peter Blonds...(I don't think)

Didn't Alan Leyland own Betty Bow. Peter Blond was in Clayton St.

This building stood where First Class Motors have there car forecourt on the corner of Wilcox St

my mates wife worked here , julie gibson ,and there linda

Used to go ot with a girl who worked here in the late 70's. yes, Alan Leyland did own the place. Peter Blond's was around the corner on Clayton Street, opposite Gordon Fords. How time flies :)

Alan Leyland owned and ran Betty Bow , along with his son John,and his secretary,Betty.
I felt so priviledged to have been able to meet them
Alan had a wonderful gift of communicating with people.
I will miss him

My sister in law, worked here for quite a long time Joan Bootle.She lived round the corner from Betty Bow in Prescott St.
