May be Its me And my Brother And Mum

Station Road c1950
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I think that that is my mum Gladys Haigh, and my brother Douglas who is 4 years older than me is beside my mum, I'm the one in the pram I think! We were going to meet my dad Jim Haigh, we used to live Main Street going towrds the pub, the Horse and Farrier, but moved to Goodenber Road in 1953. Both my parents are dead but I have a brother Douglas, who I think is still alive, he worked at Angus Fire Armour, whom I have not seen for 14 years. I live and work overseas and only visit the UK once a year. This photo brings back memories of 58 years, I would like to know if the group can be actua'ly identified as being the Haighs as it is difficult to make out clearly. I left Bentham in 1971 and travelled the world and I still do.

RE: RE: May be Its me And my Brother And Mum

Coincidence - I too was born in Bentham in Station road next to Angus in 1946. My mum was a Bentham lass who married a Mancunian, she was the daughter of Billy and Clara Williams who both worked at the mill, as did she. I have only my Uncle Bernard living there now and I too visit every year. My Auntie Kath married into the Downham family from Low Bentham. claremcclelland@talktalk.net
