Wigan Album

These were joyful occasions. I doubt as to whether they will occur again. The beautiful banners that were displayed will probably become valuable collectors items, in years to come.

It must have been a bit nippy that day: the ladies are wearing full-length coats!

Happy days never to return

Thanks Christine for posting a time that was.

I am the second child from the left. That year we were told our posies must be of yellow and blue Iris flowers. We had these growing in our front garden so my mum cobbled together an arrangement for me out of them rather than buy a posy! Sixty years later I can still remember the overpowering smell of flowers as we waited to set off on the walk.

What a wonderful memory Christine - and to have it recorded for posterity.
