Everything about this nostalgic photo to me, is reminiscent of the early 1950’s.

Just how I remember the dinner ladies ( not dinner bags!) true ladies in every sense of the word. My favourite lived next door to us and always gave second helpings!

I remember Mrs Boon.

Her husband died in a road accident.

She lived on Wigan Road.

Also had a son called Granville, he would be about three or four years younger than John. He will be getting on for 70 now.
