Hi Brian it was not that Harry Kenyon who had the Chippy in Old Rd.Harry was a truck driver ,he won quite a few awards at truck driving at shows.
Hampsons and Kenyons were related.
BrianA, as an apprentice fitter at Parsonage Colliery I was very fortunate to be nurtured by Joe Kenyon. It was Joe that told me his Dad was nicknamed Wooley. Funnily enough, the other fitter on our face was Alan Hampson.

Brian, Is Tommy Hampson that photo?
No.

Hi Frank, was bert gibbons fish monger.
First left is my uncle, Ken Maltby. The guy in the glasses is Jackie Daniels, best man at our parents' wedding.
I don't think Harry Kenyon (chip shop) is on there, he was a lot younger...my mum's cousin if I remember right
