The Deck

Saw Jeffrey on Friday, was the first time I have spotted in town for ages. He was sitting on the side steps of the Town Hall, a place I have never seen him before! He did NOT look wonderful by any means and does not have his lovely dog anymore.

I've just read through this thread which I had somehow missed. Going back to nearly the beginning - someone mentioned Ollie Rowley. Would this be Oliver Rowley who had a brother called John and a sister Angela? Would he now be in his 60s? If so, he went to St Marys school when I did and - well, it was a shame, poor lad! If it's the right one, he would have been in a special school today.

Do you know much about Oliver Rowley or inparticular Angela? I am a long lost relative of Angela and would quite like to get back in touch. I she still living in Ostletwissel?

An Oliver Rowley worked in the warehouse at WF Chambers cotton mill on Victoria Street the factory bottom) in the late 1950s/early 1960s. Chambers closed this mill in the early 60s and I lost touch with Ollie as we all had to find jobs elsewhere.

Just read the thread and remembered I had an old photo somewhere of my Father sat on some railings opposite the bus station looks like had been working ?

Wondered if anyone knew any of them ?

That wouldn't be on the Deck, looks more like Bridge's corner of Church Street looking up Peel Street along the side of the Market Hall.

What date? and which one's your dad?

Thats exactly were that photo is to me also susie.;) My guess early 60s.
 
I knew it wasn't on the "deck" but thought I'd post it up as its across the road, its pretty obvious where it is the Market Hall and Bus Station are directly behind :D

My Father is in the middle, 60s in probably right Cashman.

Seem to know his face shurm, yeh dont know if the big guy far left was a paddy do yeh? if so i used to work wi him, n he was also a doorman way back, hes long gone now though.:confused:
 
No I only got hold of loads of old photos after my Father passed away I don't know any of the other people. :(
 
The Guy on the right looks familiar, thought it was John Ebbrell at first but it might be too early
 
Could the big lad on the left of the one in the painters boiler suit be Bill White Stanley goalkeeper I worked with Bill at Huncoat Pit and the one on the other side be Jimmy Harrower Stanley center half.
