This is my mother, Catherine Wright, walking with Sacred Heart, Springfield, some time in the fifties.

A lovely photo of a happy-looking lady.

I agree....and so beautifully turned out. People took a real pride in their appearance then, especially on special days like Walking Day.

Looks like the Springfield pub in the background, Alan.

Hi Ian. I've always thought it was the Pagefield in the background. Could be wrong, though!

I think you could be Wright, Alan!
Ive just studied it again and the pub sign seems to have an "M". Maybe for Magees?
Springfield was a Walkers pub, I think?
I'm still not 100% sure which pub it is!

I still think it's the Pagefield, Ian - but as you know I'm not Wright all the time.
