One of the first trips out that was organised from the Crispin Arms after my parents took on the tenancy in 1950. I'm not sure where this coach trip was to, I thought it was Cleveleys or perhaps Blackpool but maybe it was somewhere else, I wonder if anyone can identify it? I can only name two of the five women on this photo, extreme right is my mother and Landlady Phyllis Bowen and second in from the left is Mrs Bibby, whose husband Norman Bibby ran with his brother Arthur, the Clarington Haulage Company. Norman later became Chairman of Wigan RL, they had 3 sons, Norman, Walter and Harold. The box Brownie was kept very busy in our early years at the Crispin.
