As to your question,as far as I am aware Colin is still (wick),as they used to say in Lancs, Wick obviously meaning still alive, but then you probably already know that. Colins lad, also called Colin, (alias the wild man), also lives in the village on Station Road where is father has lived for as long as I can remember.
Harry Anderton I am afraid I cannot bring to mind, the only Anderton I can think of was a Henry(I think), he was a pattern maker at the Redac brickworks in 1960s.
Hope this helps, please stay in touch, stay happy, Yours Taddy. |
I never heard the word 'wick' referred to a human Taddy. I have heard it said, the house is wick with cockroaches, or wick with mice, or when going to school wick with nits. In 1946, my hubby went to the Junior Technical School with Henry( The boys called him Harry) and was in the same class. Colin was a bit younger, but he always remembers Colin because of his size. Can you ask Colin if he knows Henry's whereabouts, or if he is still alive?. I think the person you knew from Redac could have be Harry. My hubby has been trying to get in touch with his 24 classmates, but sadly most have passed on. Thank you.
