Wigan Album

Another cracking set of photographs Frank. I always look forward to your contributions.

Thanks Dtease, I've not put many on for a while because I'm working on a new book of photographs mainly concerning the 1960s which hopefully will be out at the end of the year. I'll filter a few pics onto this wonderfully nostalgic site throughout the year.

Great photos Frank,I remember watching the Baybutt brothers at Roocrofts field, there was another good rider at that time called Chris Pusey , Frank when will your new book of photos be on sale ?

Very different from the sober-suited businessmen they became.

Thanks for all your comments. All these pictures will be in a book that I hope to publish later this year concerning mainly the 1960s with a few from other decades.

They had a "Flying Saucer" in their garden in Toogood lane.

Correct Mick, I knew their parents well and had the pleasure of going in the 'spaceship' more than once.

Mick you are correct it changed into TOOGOOD LANE further down.
