83 Vale Road (marked in red) also went to Mosspit Lane, Dovedale infants/ primary and same class at Quarry Bank as John. Sadly Pete died in 2017 at his home in Knutsford, but remained friends all his life. John wanted Pete in his group, so he played washboard.
Another Quarry Bank pupil, Eric joined when it was found out he played guitar.
