The photo of Piggy - I think he was 'wandering abroad' before Tommy Ent. I do not remember him from the 50s though I do remember Tommy. Margaret is probably right - there would be several men in this situation. Some of these probably gave their address as 'Moorlands' which was the name for the workhouse near Rawtenstall. It became a hospital.
