Wigan Album

Thanks for this photo. I used to live in the Vic and that spot is the exact spot where I met my husband nearly forty years ago. I will show him when he gets home from work. Thanks so much for the memory Eileen . . . it brought a few tears to my eyes and wonderful memories to my mind.

Do you know my brother Alan and his wife Greta,who is on the photo,they were regulars,that night we was in at lockdown

I know the name but can't place the face at the moment, my memory works slowly now. My dad was Jimmy Eatock.

Who are the people in the picture Eileen
It would be good to put some names to the people

Eileen, just shown the photo to hubby. Thanks. This photo brings back some great memories for us. Its been a lovely gift to us. I cannot thank you enough. The lady with the white top on is sat where I was when I met hubby.

I am in the blue and my sister-in-law Greta in the black,she used to be a bar maid,so would be recognisable,the others were introduced,I am not good with names,it was 22 years ago.

Mike was telling me that when alan came over from Australia he took him round the prison where he worked as alan worked in adelaide prison and asked mike to show him round
