I bet there aren't many of these still around after 100 years...

I think it was Mr Arthur Handley who was once the owner of the cafe in Wigan Park.
Hi Ron, Arthur Handley was my great great uncle. Do you have the original invitation?

Yes I still have it.

I’m not sure of the family relationship with the Handley family and the Cassinelli’s, the Ice Cream businesses they were well know for.
When I was at St John’s School in the 1950’s Tim and Nicholas Handley were there and their older sister Madeline went to The Convent.
There is still a Cassinelli Cafe in the Market Hall facing Market Street, I don’t know if there is still a family connection or if they have just retained the name?
