My old school friend Ian Botham's (not the Ian Botham) father was the manager of Woolworths in the early 60's. A good man! They rented a house in Church Walks, snooker table etc - great days. Ian was a big oppo of Tommy Atherton and I believe Ian emigrated to Oz as an apprentice book binder? Paul, his eldest brother worked in town as an electrician for an old war vet working from back Maboc street? Paul had a 1930's car (Riley maybe) that had two seats when you opened the boot. Paul took me, Phill Plevey and another who I can't remember to Manchester to visit Billy Baskerville who's father ran the Carlton and had been posted to another pub. Phill and I sat in the back getting a load of looks! Funnily, both myself, Phill and Billy joined the RN before we knew what Ian did? I'm in touch with Phill (lives in Scotland) but if anyone has any info on the Botham's or Baskervilles I would much appreciate it.
