Wigan Album

You don't get so many altar servers these days in Catholic Churches. Usually there are more girls than boys serving on the altar. I do like the garments then rather than the far more simple ones these days. I remember helping to sew the new ones in the seventies at our church in Westhoughton, that seemed to be when everything changed.

This is a lovely photo of your dad as a youngster.Things have changed in the passed decade's. It holds lovely memories for you..I remember going up Ince watching St Williams walk, when I was a young girl.

Thank you Veronica and Edna...I was thrilled to get this photo a while back, I don’t have any photos of my Dad as a teenager...think he would have been about 17 here...at 19 he joined the army..Grenadier Guards...Royal Engineers and then special forces in India towards the end of the war...9th Gurkha Rifles...as an instructor.

Lizziedownunder, good to hear from you again, you used to post quite often . Hope you're keeping well.

Hello there Tom, good to hear from you too. Not as busy on here as I used to be...still do a word Anagram on Communicate...Hobbies/Books thread.

Anyway good to hear from you ..take care and stay well.. :)
