I think the boy at the very front on the right hand side of the photograph might be Stuart Spalding.

Thanks Lynn. Can you confirm where the picture was taken? I expect it was the hall in the new High School, but I really don’t know. Best wishes, Neil Fortey

The boy on first row left hand side is, I think, Peter Donger from the Hollies Farm in Easthorpe. As for where it’s taken, I’m not sure but I did attend the Cubs with him on a couple of occasions and, I stand to be corrected on this, I think at the old VC Hall at the playing fields. We used to bike along the footpath from Easthorpe Lane past what l think was doctor Woll’s surgery on the left. The gray matter is a little bit cloudy these days.

Dear Michael and Tony, thanks for sorting out the details of this photograph. Where would this archive be without supporters such as yourselves? With best wishes, Neil.
