These are the Children of Turner Street, Scholes and surrounding streets. I've asked my mum if she can remember any names (she lived at 32 Turner Street) and these are all she can remember.

Left to Right

Unknown, ?? Seddon, Valerie Wilcox, ?? Seddon, ??Cramer, Kevin Smith.

My mum used to babysit for Kevin Smith. Any help with the rest of the names would be appreciated.

What a lovely photo of the innocence of children back then. Their lovely smiles show how much they were enjoying their day; it was probably planned and looked forward to for months. Those little girls will have felt like princesses in their long dresses!

I was at a loss as to where Turner St was then it dawned on me it was off Greenough St. Lovely dresses worn by the children. I remember the day the Queen was crowned. It rained so the party was held in St Pat’s boys School. I wore a red and white striped cotton dress. The photo was lost years ago amongst others of my childhood. I think my mam used to give them away to relations! Grr.
