I think the picture was taken around 1948/9. I am the fifth one in from the right with the plaits! I remember all those faces vividly but cannot put names to them all - sorry! To name a few John Moulsher, Robin Whysall, Cyril Plummer, one of the Raison boys, someone called Fisher. All on the back row. Middle row Peter Christmas, someone called Gale(surname), Yolande & Carol Norris, and David Langton. Front row, Janet Tinkler, Wendy Topps, Brenda Jackson, Brenda Raison, Jennifer Parr, and someone called Dunsmore. I also remember all of them on photo 2 but not their names - Angela Bradshaw, Ann Ducker, Jennifer Whysall, Neville Bagnall, another of the Raison boys, and of course Mr Dewey.

What wonderful memories came flooding back when looking at the school photographs. I was at school 6 years later than this with their brothers and sisters....Helen Plumber, Fredrick Langton, Pat Dunsmore to name a few. Other surnames ring bells but I cannot recall the christian names. Other friends were Carol Hampson, Susan Barnes, Susan Farrow, Betty, Mary Carr, Herbert Daybell and Jimmy.
There were also the Cross Bearers - Neil Tinkler, John Topps, David Ball and John Daybell. I am still in touch with Richard Bolland but both of us have lost touch with everyone else.

In the 1948/49 photograph I'm quite sure it is Pat Christmas in the centre row second from left, not his elder brother Peter.
