This wooden fruit bowl was given to me by the family of Joseph Aspinall
shortly after he passed away a few years ago. Joseph was a very keen
railway enthusiast. The script on the brass plate reads..." Presented to
Mr John Goulding by his workmen on his retirement after 42 years service "
L.M.S. Railway 1-6-1929. The L.M.S. Railway was formed on 1-1-1923, so
I am assuming that John Goulding started work as a railwayman in 1887,
either on The former London & North Western Railway, or the Lancashire
& Yorkshire Railway.

My uncle won a bowl just like the one shown, He won it in 1926 at the Wigan Police sports day.
