The gent in the green shirt, tan jacket and smoking the pipe is my uncle, George Miller. I recognise a few other faces but no names. Date unknown. From my Aunt Esther's collection.

I worked at Parsonage and I'm sure Arthur was our 'Chip Range' man on W&B 13's
I remember Dennis's Uncle George and Arthur Jones, also the man next to Arthur with the cardigan although I can't remember his name. The man in the dark suit going into the pub was "Cis" Sumner.

Everyone knew Arthur in pubs and clubs in Platt-Bridge, a real character. Top pit worker on our shift.
Josie... I am a Platt Wazzer born and bred. I went to St. Nat's Infant and Junior, and then Moss Lane (and Spring View). However, I did know a Geoff Pennington, who was a bit older than me. (I am 52). There was a photograph of him posted in the album... Street Scenes->Platt Bridge->Item 13806
