Did Bdr Anders live near Levertons/Soughers Lane

Comment by: CK on 21st December 2008 at 08:49

Yes he lived on Landgate estate

Comment by: CK on 21st December 2008 at 10:11

But you could be thinking of his brother Barry who lived between Levertons and Soughers Lane

Thanks for the reply CK. Barry is the brother I remember, Is he still living there?

Comment by: CK on 21st December 2008 at 13:51

No He lives in Ashton now. He moved some while ago but his daughters still live in that house

....if any of you gentlemen are still around....do you remember me....I was Bty Captain in Wigan up to 1963, and created the bar and canteen being enjoyed in the photo.

Cyril,
Were you a Captain if si I do remember you, I think you lived on Parsons walk at the time? I was a signaller also I rode one of the motorcycles. I left around 1962?
