Bob the builder?

Haha , but... seriously anyone know ?

There was a Cain building firm at Park Street Poolstock circa 1990s

I believe they had to cease business due to clients who couldn't affords to pay after the work was completed

Maybe or not the same Cain; I don't know

Remember him well,he always wore bright red trousers & didn't he marry the beauty queen Wendy George & they ran a Pub in Abbey Lakes Orrell

Last I heard, about 2 years ago, Bob was in a Nursing Home in Ince.

Are you thinking of Bob Cain the accountant who was based in Upper Dicconson Street?
In later life he was in business with Wendy George as George Cain Leisure at the Abbey Lakes Hotel.

Gaffer yes we're on the wrong Bob haha

He had a builders yard near the rocket arms , I am talking late 60s to the 80s

There is a Bob Cain who lives near Hall Green, UpHolland. He was a motor mechanic at the Abbey Lakes garage.
Bob would be approx 7t5.

are they any relation to the calderbanks scrap yard if so on rekative elderly lives in standish

Bob was well known at Wigan Cricket Club as a real character and a reasonable cricketer. His father had a plasterers business situated on Mesnes Rd next to the Brocket Arms, which closed many years ago but he trained as an Accountant. He did indeed live at, or be in business with Wendy George at the Abbey Lakes in his later years. Last heard of living somewhere in Standish some years ago! Boy did he like a drink!

Re Bob Cain (Builder and Accountant) knew him a little afraid he is no longer with us. Married a lady called Beryl but did not last . He was pretty good on the drums,saw him at Arley Golf Club having a go one Christmas when the official group were having a drink many years ago...

did he play golf at haigh hall.

Bob Cain was a golfer but did'nt know if he played at Haigh.

He did enjoy a drink...

Did Bob have a Brother called Vincent?

My uncle was in partnership with cain many years ago they had a builders yard near the brocket sadly my uncle jimmy died and cain bought him out

Must have been his father it was a plastering yard

Yes, I knew Bob. He was a lovely lad. Always more or less in Wigan Cricket Club at Bull Hey. His grave is in Gidlow Cemetery. Bob was a really nice person.

I knew Bob well. You could not meet a nicer bloke. RIP Bob.

Thank you all for your replies. I liked Bob he was a good guy. I’m 70 myself I was in. My teens when I knew him.at The Cricket club. So I guess he would be in his late 80s. Sorry to hear of his passing.
All the best to you all

Bob yes I knew him from my teens and I am now over eighty.
His later life was not the best and he had many misfortunes but quite a personality...yes he did marry Beryl and they were an item in my teens but it did not last.
