I remember Fred Skinner from the early 50s. He ran a boys club in the rooms above the now defunct Coop bakery and warehouse at the junction of Wall St and Belper St, next to Belper St Baths in the Cob Wall area of Blackburn.
My uncle Jim Haworth now sadly no longer with us was manager of the Bakery at the time.
I had an auntie who had a small hairdressers shop directly opposite the Coop building. We used to call her auntie Janey but when she got the shop we had to call her auntie Jean. I could never remember the new name and got into trouble many times.
The next time I heard of Fred Skinner he had opened a boys club somewhere in Clayton.
Last I remember him at the Martholme Grange.
