I know what you mean,Harry,about Wigan.I am so glad that I was born then and not now.I was thinking just yesterday about todays houseing shortage and the thousands of houses that were demolished on the whim of some ass bureaucrats.If you look at the few that remain around Frog Lane area they look great today after a bit of tlc.
Chester is a lovely place and I obviously have fond memories as I met my wife there and we married in St.Peters at Chester Cross.She was living in the Y.W.C.A just down Watergate St.Did you know that Josiah Wedgewood was the Uncle of Charles Darwin and it was old Josiah that stumped up the thousands that Darwin needed for his voyage on The Beagle.A good friend of mine in Jersey had a pottery at Stoke 'Royal Venton'.His family made pottery for over a hundred years before the business died a slow death.He is now in his eighties but there aint nothing he doesn't know about pottery manufacture.They were big exporters of sanitary ware to USA and Canada as well as the conventional t-Sets.All the best to you and Mrs.Rolo.
