In last week’s Looking Back we featured a photograph of Bury Railwayman’s Club. This prompted Janet Hadley to get in touch and to send us this cutting which appeared in the Bury Times in 1965.
She said: “It was great to see a picture of the Railwaymen’s club in Bury.... many memories! My late father John Lomas, was an engine driver at Bury and every year my brother and I would attend the Railwaymen’s children’s Christmas party there.
"That’s me at the front, wearing the hat with my arm around my younger brother. Later in the 1970s, I used to attend dog training classes there, too.”
