I remember this scene well. Grandma Gibson (Margret Gibson nee Blan) lived on the opposite side of the road to the picture, next door to Tizzy Horrocks. Margaret died in 1962 in Woodhouse Lane, at Aunty Hannah's house. Talking to Derek last week, got us chatting about family history. It would be good to hear from any of my cousins on the Gibson side, particularly Derek and Kenneth.
