'59 or '60. It was taken outside our house 30 Belle Green Lane. The little girl leaning on the gas lamp is one of the Dean girls (Josie Or Marie). I can remember the man coming round every night to light the lamp.
stephen did you go to ince central school? if so i was in the same class along with billy green i see billy ever week in the pubs round wigan
Hi Carol, yes i went to Ince Central and was in same year as Bill. Your name is familiar but it was a long time ago.
Not seen Bill for about 35yrs but we've been in touch by email through this site. Lovely to hear from you. Hope all is well with you. Do you have any old school or family photo's you could put on here?
nice to hear from you stephen and you are ok & i am very well thanks for asking billy is the only one i see from school he did tell me you keep in touch by email your ears must have been burning i read your other coment on the teachers can't believe you can't remember them do you remember the teachers in the juniors miss melling 1st class miss morgan 2nd then miss melling again 3rd and 4th class mr heaton then i went to rose bridge great to hear from you
Hi Carol, Yes, i remember some of the teachers from junior school. The ones you mentioned apart from mr heaton (no recolection) plus the Headmaster Mr Lowe. I'll make it my business to come over and get to one of Bills gigs soon and hopefully we can meet up. I see you also went to Rose Bridge. Have you seen the photo of the football team in the 1st year?
hi ste mr heaton is on the school photo 1953 sports
Hi Carol, thanks for the info about Mr Heaton. I've just had a look at the photo and can honestly say i have never seen that man before lol. I'm afraid my memory is very selective these days. I can remember a younger teacher who took us for PE. Dark haired man who was quite good at sports himself. Not got a clue what his name was though. I'm sure Bill will remember him, he (in his own words) has a 20-20 memory.
hi ste there was a mr. fairchild tall dark hair we should have gone into his class in the 3rd year but i'm sure he left thats why we got miss melling again can't remember any other men just mr. lowe the head i'm sure bill will remember i have seen his band Billy and the Temprementals miss glover was right he does have a vivid imagination
I remember Marie Dean she was in my Class at St Williams and lived in earl St
Hello stephen iam bill kings son in law late wife susan king
Hi Stephen, trying to remember last time I saw you. I can remember taking you, my dad and Harry Welch to Abram Labour Club (or somewhere close) so I could borrow his car for the night to take my girlfriend out. Came back later to pick you lot up again. That would have been about 35yrs ago.
Hope you are keeping well.
