Wiganers at Work

Stand to attention Sub O. Sherratt. This takes me back a bit Dave. Most of you on the picture have gone on to bigger and better things - where am I - still plinking away on my typewriter (or pc as we have now - now who's gone up in the world). Just a few I can't put a name to, but I'm still working on it. Good to remember.

I think the lad in the middle back row looks like Jim Cadman

keep thinking ann, keeps the brain matter ticking over perhaphs someone can name them all? nice to hear from you.the one in the middle back is jim cadman, dave

The one knelt down in the middle of the front row is Steve Johnson, infamous for his squash playing. The lad third from the left on the back row is Peter Iddon, and I think the smaller lad to the left of Peter is Phil Benson (Benny)

Further to my last post I've contacted an old mate who used to work at Wigan Fire Station. As thought even my memory is wrong sometimes, but my mate has managed to name the following :-

Back row left to right

Steve Dandy,Dont know, Peter Lawson, Brian Hope,Dave Sharratt, Jim Cadman, Kevin Bradley, Dennis Rowlings, Eric Dodd, Dave Haighney

Front Row again left to Right, Martin Higgins, Dont Know, Dont know, Steve Johnson, Jimmy Lord, Mick MacMullen,

OK LETS HAVE ANOTHER GO ,BACK ROW. STEVE HAUGHTON, PHIL BENSON,PETE LAWSON,BRIAN HOPE,DAVE SHERRATT,JIM CADMAN,KEVIN BRADLEY,DENNIS ROWLINGS,NOT KNOWN,DAVE HAIGHNEY,
FRONT, NOT KNOWN,ERIC DODD, DAVE FARRIMOND,STEVE JOHNSON,JIMMY LORD,MICK MCMULLEN, ONLY TWO TO FIND ANYONE KNOW?

There's only one name I'm not sure of,but - back row are Steve Houghton, Colin Horan, Pete Lawson,Brian Hope,Dave Sherratt, Me (Jim Cadman) Kevin Bradley, Dennis Rowlings, Eric Dodd, Dave Haighney. Front row are ??, Tony Abram, Dave Farrimond, Stevie Johnson, Jimmy Lord and Mick McMullen. Too many knocks - can@t remember who we played! Jim

Can't help with names but I think this was taken when we played the Bleach Works team.

Further to my last comment. Front row second in from left is my brother Bill Dodd.

MUST HAVE BEEN SOME BIG LADS,THE SHIRTS WHERE LOANED BY WIGAN RUGBY LEAGUE CLUB

Hope someone can help... Trying to get hold of Brian Hope as pictured here. I was in the Navy with him and have lost his contact details. We get Christmas cards from them every year but have no idea how to get back in contact with them. Does anyone know Brian, his wife Hilda or any of the kids?

Any help much appreciated!

HI, BRIAN LIVES IN EDINBOROUGH DRIVE PEMBERTON

Can someone confirm if a alan wilson was in the wigan fire brigade sometime in the 1970s, he was also stationed at widnes about 1972/3. Sure he came from wigan and would be in late 50s/early 60s
