The Con Club was on the right going up towards Ozzie, about 1/2 way between the junction of Blackburn Rd. Fred Kirkham started off by carting for the NEL Dairies (West End). My father was in the Kings Own Regiment in the early 40s Fred moved My Mum, self and sister in the front of his wagon from Lancaster to Church.
I am saddened to hear of the tragic death of the Kirkham's in the 70s. Vale
