oh i can see my little sis pauline an our bedroom window at the back of 75 ince green lane brilliant thanks irene

irene Help am i right about this pic ?

Yes, Mary, that's your bedroom window! Do you remember when we had "The Pirate Club"? We used to have little books where we jotted down notes and ideas, and I think you once belonged to a "Pony Club", (not a real one), with other girls from Ince, although I wasn't "in" on that; it was girls from Rose Bridge. WE used to have a "special knock" which we used at each other's door so we'd know who was knocking.....do you recall it? I do!

irene what a lovely photo keep em comming i love them and those names ring a bell with me ?

Joyce was in my class at Ince Central. These photo's bring back so many memories, thanks for posting them Irene

mary was the house to the right of yours joe harts house. i can remember takin my dads bets there as joe used to collect bets.

Irene, didn't Sandra Moorcroft live in the shop at the corner of Ince Green Lane and George St? Joyce must have got a paasport to stray that far from home; she lived off Belle Green Lane in Queensway. Last saw her on a train in 1974 when she heading off from Uni to an International Socialists meeting in Leicester I remember wondering if she was going to be Ince's answer to Rosa Luxemburg!

Yes Bill, Sandra Moorcroft's parents ran the "Corner Shop" as we called it, and Joyce Gambles did live where you say. She didn't normally play in our backs; I only really knew her from school. Perhaps she was friends with one of the other girls and had been invited to play.

yes christine it is joe hart's i think quite a few people went in their house with bets

do you like our pauline's pose (rite poser) she still does that today,can you see frank grimshaw's bedroom window? he lived next door to us
