WE’RE taking a trip back 70 years in time with this wonderful old photograph.

It shows the smiling faces at the Sutcliffe and Speakman’s Children’s Christmas Party, which took place in Leigh on December 19, 1952

Does the picture, dug out from the local archives, bring back memories for any readers? Or do you recognise anyone on the picture?

Do get in touch if it does and tell us who you know in the photo.

Email us at newsdesk@leighjournal.co.uk.

n Do you have any pictures that you think would work well on our Looking Back page?

They can include an old picture of a sports team, public event or anything else relating to local history.

If you do, then please email it with your name, a description of what the image shows and what year it was taken.

We will consider using pictures taken in Leigh, Atherton, Astley, Tyldesley, Golborne, Lowton, Hindley, Hindley Green, Glazebury and surrounding areas from a different era.
