Wigan Album

They were hard times. Look at the two boys at the front of the picture, I bet they didn't have time to board. Like the children who came from other areas last week and vandalised our planters.

The countless times I've said the same thing Maggie..there's no way would we want our children of today to work like those poor little kids but oh!!what a difference eh..I should imagine all they wanted to do was to get a decent meal and a good bed...they wouldn't have the energy to go and vandalise,not that I suppose they even wanted to..a different generation then.
