The St John Ambulance Brigade band, 1955.
They were very popular for walking days etc. I was a member and I still have several friends who were members..
In 1955 they went to a contest in Blackpool and came away with the title of North of England Champions. To celebrate, they organised a march around Wigan followed by this photo session on Wigan Market Square.
