HERE is another great old photograph which we found in the local archives.

Last week we featured a picture showing officers from the Leigh Athletes’ Volunteer Force.

Here is another military-themed black and white photograph, this time of six Tyldesley Air Training Corps officers.

Their names, from left to right are Quine, Abbott, Unknown, Tyldesley, Charlton and Bridge.

Pictures can be of anything relating to local heritage or history such as old school pictures, sports line-ups or public events, or anything else that would be considered suitable.

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