Landlord of the Golden Lion Hotel, Wigan, c1955. Pulling a pint for one of George Cain's plasterers, after getting paid from Cain's office in Rowbottom Square. I was one of killer Cains plasterer's.

Was this pub on Wallgate, somewhere near where Staples is now?

It was next to the Raven, pulling the pint was - I think - the landlord, Cyril Livesy.
