Re submitted this as people said they couldn't see the original. Stan worked as a passed cleaner then fireman at Lower Ince shed of the Great Central. Later he moved with my auntie Jenny to Irlam following the closure of Kirkless Top Place works and ran a bakery business.

Thanks Neil. Something tells me he loved that dog.

I think the dog was called Peter and was actually my dad's dog. I believe it was quite a character. I have a better pic of him sat on the wall outside 38 Holt Street Ince. I will try and post that one day, also one of an old Vauxhall with running boards outside the same.
