The photo was taken outside the old scout hut on Liverpool Rd, Ashton .
I reckon it must be 1965/66.
I don`t think I know all the real names .
From left - right
Back row, Ted Webb, Miggy
Centre, Mick Pilling,Binks,Fred Fearns
Front, Kevin Webb,Usher and a lad I think whose name was George Barnes
Sorry if I got any names wrong

I have still got that berry in the attic but it does not fit now. I suspect it has shrunk! Mick Pilling

Just having a surf around and found this, yes it is George Barnes, he lived up at Stubshaw Cross, have you got any more pics as I don't live in the area anymore and have lost contact with loads of people, Best Regards Steve Usher.
