Me and Joe Ball with pike caught from Figure 8
Photo: RON HUNT

A photo. of me and Joe Ball with two pike we caught from the Figure 8 near Winstanley Hall. Although the photo is dated 1963 it could have been 1962? I can remember that day ( Sunday) as though it was last week. Photo taken in Joe's Dad's front garden on the Green at Pemberton.
