Wyn , you can probably remember a priest who was at St. Peter's a million years ago .
I can picture him walking down Willows Lane to the school in his cassock and wearing a biretta . More Catholic than the Pope .
I pass it sometimes on my way up from town . I see Peter Crook , I think that's his name , going into the church . He used to live in Willows Lane near the top of Ormerod Street . When I was living up Fern Gore I would often have to go down the lane to Ingham's butchers and Whittaker's confectioner's . Peter's mum would be outside their front camping . Come back in two hours , and she would still be there camping .
Days when people had time and were not caught up in the frenzied rush of our 21st century life .
