Then Jean's sister May Holcroft! It was 1977 for the Queen's Silver Jubilee and taken on my black & white polaroid camera!
Jean's father-in-law Mr McQuillan lived on Walthew Lane next door to Liptrots which is more or less opposite Platt Bridge Dentists now!

Hi
My mum Patricia Taylor, daughter of Nora and Jack Taylor lived at 79 Sydney street.
I lived at number 16 across from an old Lady called Mrs Lally. I remember the jubilee party in the street, I was only 4 at the time.
I lived at no 10 for eleven years from 1969. Very happy days. Yes Chris Mrs Lally lived across from us. I remember the day very well everyone pulled together to make the day special for the kids. I remember most people at the bottom but only a few from the top end.
44 was once the home of my grandparents, William and Elizabeth Foster.
anyone remember a friend of mine named Madeleine Newall, before she married?
