I cannot tell you how happy I was to see the picture of Bolton Road, It is just where we lived, back of 334 Bolton Road behind the Burgess grocers, than you SO much Phil and BF for taking me back to what now seems to be a bygone age where things were less complicated, although I am sure they were not.
CaroleC, I have just joined this forum, having seen your post (quoted above). I'm the grandson of RR Burgess, grocer, and the nephew of RJ Burgess who had the drapers next door with his wife, Irene. I remember a CaroleC, who had a brother who we called Georgie. I would like to PM with you to find out if you are the person I remember from my youth, but it seems I cannot PM at present.
