Waiting for the St Williams Walks Early 1960's
Photo: Margaret Wall

The picture was taken on Warrington Road, Lower Ince and shows Alan Mason with his grandma, waiting for the walking day procession to begin. One of the two buses is the number twelve to Abram but I cannot tell what the other bus says on it but is obviously heading in the direction of Wigan.
