Wigan Album

I would like to know who the people are in the photo's as i was born and bread in bamfurlong in 1969 and it was a good friendly place to live and still have friends there and family livig there.

HI,
WHAT A COINCIDENCE I WAS BORN IN LIVERPOOL AND LIVED ALL MY LIFE IN BAMFURLONG UNTIL EMIGRATING TO AUSTRALIA WITH MUM AND DAD. LIVED IN THE OLD TERRACE HOUSES IN LILY LANE AND THEN IN THE NEW COUNCIL ESTATE AT THE TIME IN ENID PLACE WALKING DAY WAS SUCH A GREAT DAY MINE WAS WITH THE BOYS BRIGADE AT ST. NATS CHURCH.

The lad on the right looks like Derek Fairhurst.

The girls first name was Rita she lived next door to Corless'es shop

Yes Beryl you are quite right she is Rita my cousin. Are you the other half of the twins with Edna, if so I went to Ashton school with her.

Hello again Beryl - Rita's name was Baldam
Also please say hello to Edna for me, if she wants to get in touch I shall be happy to pass on my email address.
I initially posted this a few days ago but it didn't appear so better luck this time

I was born in 1961 across from Corless's shop. The street was known as "long row" and ran parallel with the railway line dont know what the actual street name was does anyone know

The young lad on the left is me. Rita Baldham and Stuart Naylor are the other two who "led up" that year.

I was thirteen in this photo and not at all pleased about having to lead up, as you can probably tell by the look on my face.

Actually it was my brother Christopher Naylor who led up with Rita and Steve that year.

To WP. The street commonly known as 'the long row' was Cross Street.

Only just found WiganWorld. What a treasure trove! Left the area 46 years ago. This photo makes ‘When will I see you again?’ by the 3 degrees echo fondly in my mind.
