When in July I printed a photograph of Delph Hill Church, Bolton, during the 1940s, Mrs Velda McMorrow (nee Maddison), of Heaton Avenue, Doffcocker, recognised two of the men.

She tells me that she attended Delph Hill from when she was three until her marriage in 1960. "My mother Nancy Maddison was in the choir and produced many concerts and plays," writes Mrs McMorrow.

"My Grandmother also attended, and my brother Eric was in the Cubs, Scouts, and then became leader of the Clubs. I was a singer until I was 16, a Brownie and Guide, a Sunday School teacher, and took part in the concerts."

Mrs McMorrow has forwarded these pictures to me, also of Delph Hill. The first is of the Autumn fair in about 1952 ("Mother used to train the children to open the fete").

The other picture is of a group from the church with Mrs McMorrow on the front row with a white ribbon in her hair. "Next to me is my brother, and Mother is behind him," she writes.
