This photograph was taken in the summer of 77, by a photographer from the Wigan Observer. It shows, from left to right, Susan Holland, Lynne Jones, Angela Rutter and Irene Prescott. The photograph was taken in the park just off Warrington Road, Wigan. We all lived in Farr Close, Worsley Mesnes.

None of them look particularly happy...Odd...

A bloke comes up to 4 young girls in the park and asks to take their photo, of course we were not happy, he had his Wigan observer identification card with him but we were not fully convinced, in the end we decided there was enough of us to tackle him if he was dodgy. We allowed 1 photo, and we were astonished when it appeared in the paper, especially as none of us had told our parents about the bloke. Not odd, just cautious.

Hya Susan,have you thought of getting together again for another pic,to see how much you have all changed?

i hope everyone is still with us,my apologies if not.

Would love to get together again but I don't know where the other girls are. I live in Essex now, have done for about 20 years. I have left messages on wiganworld asking for info on the other girls but no luck yet.

If you have not already done so Susan,you could try BT Phone Book. I have had success by this method.

Susan, maybe also you could try Facebook, or friends reunited, probably they have changed their surname if they are married, but what about brothers or relations of your friends.

Thanks guys, I've tried all sorts. Thought by putting the photo on wiganworld it might jog someone's memory

Hi Susan, why not try the Wigan Observer again? every week they print a photo of people wanting information?

Comment by: Susan Mint on 10th September 2012 at 21:28

Thanks for that JohnAlan, I'll give it a go
