Jack and Jenny Harte were outstanding as Mayor and Mayoress ,always willing to help with charity work. Jack would act as altar server at St Patrick's ,if the alter boys failed to make an appearance. I wonder what he would make of the threat to the Church in the ongoing consultations regarding closures and mergers .

Highly likely, turn in his grave, Tom. Jenny now lives a few doors from me,in Blackpool. She will be, God willing, eighty nine next February. She is my sister in law.

I believe the foundation stone was placed in the wall, as you turn into the forecourt of the railway station, from Wallgate.

Your mam and dad would have known him Theresa as would my dad -they would have been at school at the same time.
