He was very sad, but one person who knew him was a friend of my mother who at the time worked in Cavendish Woodhouse which was on Blackburn Road. She was told that he was very aware of his appearance, but he refused to talk about it.
in them days it was just "Cavendish" i think the Woodhouse was added later, used to go in wi me mam, she bought all her gear from there, must have met yer mam cooinda, yeh used to go upstairs to pay yer weekly.
