Places   (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)

This is my very first post so here goes.
I lived in Hawthorn Ave from 1948 at age 2 till I left home at 21.We were the first tenants in the council house and looking back we were so lucky to have these fantastic homes.They had a lot going for them.
The people I knew in the street included the Atkinsons, the Fairhursts, the Athertons, the Mcphersons, the Ainscoughs,the Wildes, the Prescotts, the Smiths, the Tattoms, and the Lawtons. Lots of others too numerous to mention.
I went to the Rectory school till 1957 and then to Ashton secondary modern till 1961.
Could anybody hazard a guess as to who I am?
