By the way you and your brother are "turned out" I'd say, without hesitation, you had loving, caring parents - a credit to all of you.

I lived at no 64 Legh St. just across the road from the Sunpat factory. The Legh Arms was a few yards down the road from our house. I think the pub changed its name to "Silks" but is now an office.
