I wonder if you feel this would be of interest for inclusion on album? I believe he was a greatly admired man. Mannion House was named in his honour.

Why don't you give the date of these cuttings? This is basic, surely.

Michael , I appolagise ror the lack of detail,you are quite right to chastise me.The photogragh on the right was in The Lancashire Evening Post on the 26/11/65. the one on the left was from The Wigan Observer,of that week. In my defence,had I not cropped the pictures,the dates were clearly visible. I say this not as an excuse,but as an explanation . I should,of course,be more careful,before pressing the send button.
be more careful

Tom, would it be possible to upload a full scan of the cuttings, it would be of interest to be able to read all that was said of Alderman John Mannion. Thank you.

Thanks, Tom. Sorry if I sounded testy!
