Florris Walpole and Betty Whittaker in the kitchen in the late 1960s. This is a superb piece of Kersal life and wonderfully captures a piece of social history. A picture which is on a par with anything that the wonderful Shirley Baker produced.
Bob Whittaker on the balcony of the flat in 1970.
Betty Whittaker shows off the first colour TV that they had in the early 1970s
Mark Whittaker in 1971 shows off his new Whit Sunday clothes next to the tv. Note the groovy 70s wallpaper and the now defunct practice of putting ornaments etc on top of the TV.

After a night at the Kersal Club in the eaerly 1970s a good time was had in the Wick's. Note the picture of the crying boy on the wall which seemed to be compulsory for every home in that period.
