Grandson Steve’s shares these favorite memories:
“I remember Gran taking us (Steve and Martyn) to a “temperance bar” run by Mrs Nickleson at Astley Bridge for drinks. As I recall I always had Vimto. I also remember being taken to Queen’s Park in the centre of Bolton where there was a bandstand where they held concerts on Sunday. We also went to Barrow Bridge where there was a rowing lake and roundabouts – as well as a lot of tearooms.
On several occasions Gran took me to Haslem’s house (where she worked); I remember playing on the typewriter there. Gran was given the typewriter when she stopped working there – I still have it.”
