The lady in the flowered dress in the front leading the banner was my Aunty Irene,she was a lovely lady and spent her life helping with all the children at church with sunday school and the wonderful walking days, my sister Pearl Ascroft and myself Edna Ascroft (then) have wonderful memories of those wonderful days we were brought up properly and had a lovely wonderful childhood.And thank all our family for that,we lived at 487 Warrington Road my sister still lives in Abram in Maple Grove (Pearl Cunliffe),I got married and twenty eight years ago we moved to live in Plymouth and have a lovely life here, but look back with fond memories of our chilhood in Abram.

Tha lady in the flowered dress is my gorgeous mum, sadly she died in 1985 at the age of 55.
