Wigan Album

Not being disrespectful Janet, but there are a few on the photo that could be very good doubles for TV presenters and actors from the 1970s, I bet they got their legs pulled about it too.

I can see Bobby Ball for a start !

Are you on the photo, Janet?

I can see David Dimbelby at the front right, with a rare smile...

Janet
Whats the date of this photo ?
Remember dating a girl who worked at Heinz.
She told me she was a sausage twister. This remark quite excited me ;-)

No I,m not on it ,but my husband who recently passed away is ive just found it don,t know what its for think it was took about 1987. Does anyone know whats its about?

I can see John and Kath Meadwell on here so it may have been a bit earlier then 1987. Can't help with where it is, sorry

Fred Dineage from "How !" was paying a visit that day - man in front with red tie !

This is a photograph of lads who worked in the Veg Prep, or most of them did.I can name a lot of them.

Thanks, Janet. And which gentleman is your recently departed husband?

Alan Partridge next to David Dimbleby..? Front row second from the right.

Front row far right, Arthur Negus, 3rd along to left David Dickinson, and 2nd one along as mentioned Fred Dineage. Next row up 2nd from left Hughie Green. 3rd row up Bobby Ball as mentioned, and same row 2nd from far right George Roper. Top row far right Cosmo Smallpiece the character portrayed by Les Dawson.

All good fun aside, it looks as though they all had a thoroughly enjoyable and well earned night out, it was good money at Heinz, but you worked for it.

GEORGE, the envelope is your e mail details, click on it !!

Harry Curless with the white jacket on.

My mum Doris Croston is on the second row, fifth from the left.

Good photo, my grandad is Jimmy Birchall I will have to show him this picture !

I no Brian Havard went school with his son & played rugby with kieron. his grandson now plays for wigan warriors..

Yeah that's definitely my uncle beni.. (Bernard Dawber)

Wow, blast from the past! Or should that be How?! Just come across this, and I own up to being that Fred Dineage... The Group Manager Peter Phillips is to my left, never knowingly without a fag,. Looks like Gordon Allsop 1st left on 2nd row and shop Steward Jimmy Roby 2nd left on top. Kettle men, FLT drivers, banes of my life but wouldnt have had it any other way! Possibly at the Wrightinton Country Club, otherwise Holland Hall, possibly 1985 or 6?
