Wigan Album

My lovely husband, 3rd from left back row.When they were refurbishing house's in Firhurst Av. Standish in 1969

Who was the lad standing on the left, back row. Looks familiar. Think he may have family who lived on Fairhurst Ave !

WN1, I'm not sure of anyone's name.I think one of them had a nick name.They called him Billy Bean.The man first left back row lived in one of the house's.

Thought so, lovely family, sound as !!

Left back row . Looks like one of the Burgess family . Might be Bob or Trevor's dad or elder brother .

That's who I thought it was Poet

Poet, where did the Burgess family live? My husband knew someone called Bob Burgess.He had a son Barry,and daughter Dot.

They lived in Fairhurst Avenue , Edna .

Poet, its not the same family then.Maybe they are relation.They lived in Wigan.

Edna i knew Tony well we both worked for Tyldesleys, last time i spoke to him he was working for Duttons on a job at Heinz.So sorry to hear he has passed away very fond memories working on Morris Street club with him in the sixties.

Thank you Dave, when you talk about the 60s you wonder were the years have gone.
