All the best for the New Year, Jimmy.
I remember you well from our time together at Leigh Tech. during the mid-sixties - we were in the same class.
I also remember some of our other classmates: Martin Higham, Derek Holmes, Eddie Rampling, 'Lol' Spivey, John Pearce and, of course, our two teachers Mr Culshaw and Mr Neill.
I haven't seen you or any of the others since those days.
Trust that they too are O.K.
Oh, I do like the photo.
You look like Jack Palance coming down the High Street - with a mission on his mind.

Looks like Warrington Rd, Abram. Bottom of the 'brew' just past Kingsdown Rd towards 'dover'. Mr's Roby's shop was just past the chapel in the row of houses. I can't remember the name of the shop on the left or the photo, I remember going up steps to enter the shop.

Looks like Houghtons shop opposite the old post office.

Hi Jimmy - Roy here. Does the ? mean you can't name the other? It's Martin Fox
