Wigan Album

Brilliant Irene, looks like you were having fun and you look pretty as a picture.

Lovely photo Irene you haven’t changed a bit. Looks like you all had a fun day.

No doubt the ‘swagman’ will pinch this one!

Lovely photo Irene. I thought you looked very much like Alwyn.

Thankyou, everyone, for those lovely compliments. You have made me feel it was last week instead of almost fifty years ago!

Looking back all of those nice years ago in wigan and everwhere it is not so nice now like the nice photo how things have changed its so sad and awful how wigan town centre is not like the photo at least everybody looks cheerful and happy.

Irene, looks like your in the Market Place with Woolworths and Station Road in the background.

That's right Colin. We had just walked up from Debenhams. I can't remember which way we went after that! I know we didn't walk all the way to Manchester....we were taken part of the way but we walked some of it. When we got to the Manchester store we were taken to the canteen and I remember some rather dry and curly sandwiches which had been put out for us....I think they'd been there since Adam was in nappies! But hey-ho.....at 22 you just take things in your stride!

John Lenon far right.
