Wigan Album

I recognise the lady 3rd from left back row, she is Mrs Broadbridge, Jimmy Broadbridge's Mum. She made some of my walking day dresses.

I worked at Cooton Goods for about 10 years, I know most of the girls in this picture. We had some great nights out, there was always fun to be had, if it was only Sylvia Hlomes making fun of Joe Landes. He would come in dressed in a suit and we would start to sing John Colier John Collier the window to watch, do you remember that advert on TV?

My mum, Betty Hughes 2nd top right. What a great photo. Cant wait to show her.
