This photo was taken at Booths Brow around 1939 showing your Greatgrandad Jem Ryder his daughter, your Grandma Olive her husband your Grandad Miles Frodsham. Does anyone remember Miles from the days when he was the steward of the Legion before it became the S and S. He was a true gent.

I don't remember Miles Frodsham but I do remember my parents talking about someone called Miley Fratsam

I dont remember Myley from his stewardship days, but I well remember him from his days at Stones pit. He was one of the best legpullers that I have met. He worked in both the Orrell Yard and the Ravine and his practical jokes were legend!!

Ann Frodsham did marry Bernard Lowe, my auntie and uncle. Still live on Poplar Ave, spent alot of time there growing up.
My mum is Mary, from Ashton (Bryn Street) and she is known as Vada.
