The Lost Chorlton pictures ......... no 18. ......... Ken and Barbara

Now of all the pictures in the collection this is one of my favourites.

It is of Ken at the Bowling Green.

I first got to know Ken and Barbara in the Trevor in the late 1970s.  They lived on Reeves Road and they always bought our lads selection boxes at Christmas.

Long after all three were in the late teens, Barbra would knock on with the presents and at other times of the year we would pass the time talking about plants, Ireland and history over the wall in our front garden.

On the day I took the picture, the sun was shining and later in the afternoon a crowd of spectators gathered to watch.

Location; Chorlton

Picture; the Bowling Green, 1979, from the collection of Andrew Simpson
