Remember this well. Often used to get off the Wigan bus at Rose Hill and cut through to my grandparents on Downall Green Rd. I wonder whatever happened to the huge stone slabs that made the wall that you can see to the side of the family?

Just thinking -- looking across to the bend in the road -- do you remember 'Pop Morgan's'?

Any of you remember the fair coming on the field next to the farm in the 50s

Hi Joan. If you go (in this album section) to 'Schools', select St Peters Bryn. There is a class photo, which you are in. Can you identify any of the missing names?

Sorry: that should be Bryn St Peter's! You get an entirely different set for St Peter's bryn???
