If I recall - Mrs Lyndon was a "Briggs". Her parents lived next door but 2 to me on Manchester Road. For the life of me I can't remember the twins names but Anthony rings a bell. There were also two older siblings - Steven and Daryl who will be in there 40's now. I used to walk to school with Steven who always dressed somewhat rebelious. IE White short skinners and high leg docs and Bay City Roller scarfs !!!!

Re: do you remember.....?
 

Quite right I think she was called Pat, Steven was from her first marrage to a lad Called Neville Escathe(I think that was his name, his first name was definitely Nev, I worked with him in the sixties), I'm no sure, but I think Ray adopted him, because his last name was Lyndon. The twins were called Anthony and Deryle or Daz as he liked to be called. Pat also had a sister who was landady of the Queens at one time, but when I worked at the store she was the manageress.

Re: do you remember.....?

Re: do you remember.....?

Can't remember Wandering Walter at The Plough. I can remember Swinging Wilf though, Three Coins In A Fountain was a classic of his.

Re: do you remember.....?
 

He also did a few gigs at the Stop and Rest Walter that is, as for Swing he was a real star, its just a pity Simon Cowel wasn't around in those days, the world would have been his oyster:D

Re: do you remember.....?
 

jeez wilf was one i forgot,where are these stars now?:confused:

Re: do you remember.....?
 

Wilf is long gone must be 15 years since, and I think walter is in that comedy lounge in the sky as well now cashy, I think I remember bing told he'd died about four years ago, but there again I'm not 100% sure

Re: do you remember.....?
 

I wonder if that would be Neville Hesketh. He and his brother, Graham, lived in West End as children. He'd be around the age of 70 now.

Re: do you remember.....?
 

Could well be West Ender and thats how my neville spelled his name is me who's a mupet at spelling, as for being 70 i'm not sure I knew he was older than me but I didn't think that much older. I'm 62 next birthday, but I'm sure he wasn't 8 years older, he use to mate out with George Gibson, and Travis Brierly who were both joiners as were both Neville and myself, I'll do a bit of digging and see what I come up with

Re: do you remember.....?
 

It may not be the same person, Jaysay, but it's not a common name. I know he was a bit older than me, I'm 65, but maybe he's not reached 70 yet. I didn't know him well, I think the family moved when I was quite young.

Re: do you remember.....?
 

the "Pie Eating Contests" they used to have in the Plough, would be mid 60s i reckon, had a crack n failed miserably.:D

Re: do you remember.....?
 

many pubs also had "Hard Boiled Egg" Cream Cracker" eating contests, also the "Yard Of Ale", the black bull also had the "Boot" which was 4 1/2 pints,all these are long gone,mores the pity.
