GREAT PHOTO JOHN. I SPENT MANY HAPPY HOURS IN THAT BOX ILIVED NEXT DOOR (THE QUEENS) MID FORTY'S. THE BUILDINGS TO THE RIGHT WERE THE STABLES BELONGING TO THE QUEENS WHERE MY FATHER RAN A COAL BUSINESS FROM THERE ASWELL AS THE PUB

YOUR RIGHT VERA WE LEFT THE QUEENS TO LIVE IN BICKERSHW LANE NO. 68 THEN MOVED TO THE IMPEREIAL HOTEL (BONNY LASSES)HINDLEY & THEN TO THE PLATT BRIDGE INN

I. HARRY, REMEMBER THE NAME BUT SADLEY NOT THE FACE ALONG TIME AGO HAPPY DAYS, ARE YOU STILL IN THE AREA
Hello again Geoff,in touch with you after all these years is hard to grasp,but like you a name and no face.I left Bickershaw in 1952 after my Gram died and went to live in Wigan.In the early 70's I moved to London, and in 1987 down to Kent where I'm finding it harder to be retired than to work but I keep trying.Good to hear from you.
