hillsbro Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 ...Always asking for a ciggie. Good to hear Walter still on the go though Yes, Dougie used to roll his own - at Christmas we always used to give him some Golden Virginia. No doubt Walter is still a Hamlet fan - I'll make sure I have a packet with me in case we see him in Hillsborough next week. I wonder if they still put on a party for him on his birthday (22 April) in the Horse & Jockey or Wadsley Jack? It's great that he is still going strong at 89, a much-loved local character..

hillsbro Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) He was a lovely man; everyone thought the world of Walter. It's good to know that he was well cared for in his autumn years, in a cosy flat in sheltered accommodation near Hillsborough Corner. Here is a photo that I took in June 2007. https://postimg.cc/rdYXkJWx Edited February 16, 2019 by hillsbro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
