Hi Julie, I think I remember Walter Bateman, I am sure he used to bring a corgi dog in the pub with him, he lived in the row of houses overlooing Aspull Moor, not far from the shops.

Yes, Julie, I'm sure we are talking anout the same person, Walt was a very friendly person who had time for everyone, he would have a joke or two, his dog had the same calm cool nature too!
