Re: Does anyone know of the whereabouts of The ROE FAMILY OF CLAYTON LE MOORS

Sure did Eric, never won spotting the tower first though, always seemed to be sat on the wrong side of the bus. However in later years went to Haydock races/bowling at a club near Wigan if my memory serves me well you could do one or the other, never that good on the horses although three card brag used to be quite profitable on the coach. Take care all, best wishes Old Saintonian. Happy Days !!!!!!!

Along with little Jimmy Whelan and his big sister Linda. Mind you anyone was bigger than Jimmy. Now back to Barnes street who remembers Harry Lifflys' the wallpaper/paint shop, had some trouble with him used to kick a ball against his garage on Pickup street and knock paint cans off inside, seems funny now. I thionk the archer was Barbara Fielding mind you the big claim to fame in Clayton was the cyclist on Whalley roa Simpson I think his name was, now he was a star! Best wishes all Old Saintonian !!!!!!!
