I recall Arthur's active participation in golf - which was regarded as a rich man's pursuit at the time. I feel reasonably confident that those golfing connections are what led to the sports shop business.
His son Michael did 'play out' with us other kids on the street.
I recall him as a tallish, pale, very blond, sensitive lad. I have not met him since those childhood days.

Thanks for reminding me of Micks father, couldn't remember Arthur to save my life, and your right about the Golf Margaret, he was a very prominent member at Accrington Golf Club in the sixties, and Michael(was quite tall and blonde Margaret) became a very good golfer too, when I knew them they lived on Mayfield I think, but I haven't seen mick for years now
