His name is Colin Rouch and I used to write to him over a great number of years. I last knew that he was living in North Street in Walton and was still working on the pier. I know that he was 16 years older than me, so he will be turning 56 this year (2010). If anyone has any information about this wonderful man, I would be so grateful. Fingers crossed, Nicola O'Brian (Nicola Kenny back then). I wonder if someone can help me find an old friend who used to work on the pier.
