Places (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)
The girl with long black hair, (may not be Lynn), was there when I was there; I used to see her when I went in Debenhams as a teenager, and thought her so glamorous, and couldn't believe I was in the same canteen as her. I think she was still there when I left, but the passage of time has blurred my memory on that. My supervisor on Glass and China was Marion Evans, and I remember the lady on lighting but not her name. When I went on dress fabrics, we had a male supervisor, Mr. Holmes, and when he left we had Colette Morris. Two of the other ladies were Beryl Baxendale and Barbara Wilcox. Barbara worked there from leaving school to retirement. Lastly I worked for Eric King on curtain fabrics on the top floor. I worked up there through my pregnancy through the long hot Summer of 1976, (no windows or air conditioning), and the day I left the weather broke and it rained! Miss Holland was the Manageress. Lovely to exchange memories!
