Hi Momac,Mr.Duckworths daughter,Marjorie,came and stayed with us for a short while some 20 odd years ago,she is still soldiering on.
Hello Harry,we have spoken of little Billy many times.He lived around the corner from me in Vere St. and was such a lovely lad who had already gone through so much including polio.I think it was the first time I doubted God when that tragedy happened.I always say God Bless Billy whenever I pass the spot where it happened.I remember him taking me into their house and that's another vision etched forever in my mind.His mother was very well educated but never seemed to talk to anyone and his dad who had lost his fingers did what he could to support them.I often wonder how Billy's little brother fared in life.We have spoken of how safe we felt as children and many of us were sent out in the evening to find our little brother,myself included and when things like that happen it seems unreal.If you remember Billy came into our class when we were with Mr.Ashcroft in form three as he had been away,in care.He had his calipers from his illness and I remember that he spoke without the broad Wigan accent that we all had.Bless you Billy.
