Photograph submitted by Marguerite Isherwood. showing a view of the old bus shelter, opposite Wigan Infirmary. I wonder how long those windows had been in place? They wouldn't have lasted a week today...

Would this be 1974 like the others, Ron? It looks earlier, but if it IS 1974 it is the year I got married, and today I stood at the bus-stop with my own grand-daughter, and she played like the children in the photo. A lovely moment in time.

Wouldn't that be Marguerite's Brother-in -laws (the artist)house on the extreme right.

The house on the extreme right did indeed belong to the 'Isherwoods'. My Great Aunt lived in the adjacent semi.
This is the Home of My Husbands Uncle James Lawrence Isherwood
so glad you like our family pictures...

I waited at this bus stop numerous times in the 1960's when I trained and worked as a nurse at the RAEI. The house ajoining Isherwood's was in 2 flats by then rented by RAEI staff.
