THERE is a showbiz look to this week's Heritage with a scene from a long-gone production of "Little Women" from St Joseph's Players.

The Leigh company, reputed to be the oldest active amateur company in the country, are preparing to re-stage the classic American drama from October 6-9.

Pictured in our vintage picture are Sarah Woods, Jim Kelly, John Shovelton, Frank Smith, John Harris, Jim Cheetham, Syl Baron, Joe Lee, Jim Riley, Mary Unsworth, Billy Woods, Jack Loughlin, Teresa Atherton, Jim Eckersley, Lily McPhillips and Mary O'Neill.
