1929 - 2011 ???? It's around the early 1960s.
Sorry, I've confused you Garry - "Greenough Street site of 1929 Wigan Carnival" is a reference to the photo I posted earlier "Wigan Carnival" which took place in 1929 as I described - in this very street in 1929.
To be able to walk up there again - as it was -and turn right at the top into Scholes. And go home once again....what could be better.?
Two doors left of photo, I was brought up. no 77
Are you Tony Glanfield ? I was showing the photo to my Dad ,Norman Cunliffe , and asking did he think that was were my mother's ,(Brenda) Aunty Mavis used to live ?
Hello Phillip,
It is me, Tony. Hope you are well?
Hello Tony. It is a great pity that houses such as those were not modernised. Planners got swept away with the idea that the old had to go. As you know the "new" has in some cases been knocked down. Good to hear from you Philip
Do you know if these same buildings were there in 1901? If so, my great-grandparents lived at 79 Greenough Street back then. I've been looking around for what it might have looked like back then.
