i think it could be late 50s iwas in brigade when simion whitehouse carried the mace iplayed the bugle and my brother played the drum

It could be very late 50's, although I still think it is early 60's as I played the bugle when Simeon was there and John Valantine usually played the big drum.

Tis not Linney Street - It wasn't veneered in TarMac - Dat's St Cat's St. - Linney Street had cobbled stones..So there..

Sure it isn't Catherine Street, off Scholefield Lane, as it wasn't that long and ran into Lorne Street at the church. However it could be Caunce Street. You can just make out Platt Lane in the distance. It may have been a normal parade Sunday, not walking day, when the BB led the brownies, girl guides, cubs and scouts from Platt Lane Mission to Church. We used to parade up Linney Street than down Caunce Street after the service, back to the Mission. I am sure both streets were tarmac(ed) some time before the whole of Scholes was decimated in the late 60s.
