Cheers, Tony. I'm sure there are more mistakes. It's been 57 years!

Hi Alan. Great to see the photo again. Some more names to the list.
Back row, missing names [?] Peter Taylor.
3rd row, Katherine Wood, Susan Fisher, Sandra Mayors, ? ? ?
Front. Can't help much but I think it's Mary Tindall not Ann and Dorothy Prescott. Also there should be Ann Tootal and Pauline Finch on the photo.

Thanks for that, Brian. Doesn't seem 57 years, does it? They were happy days and a great bunch of people. I have so many fond memories of St Ben's. I'd just love to turn the clock back for a while!

Sorry to hear about Carol Hurst, Lynn. I remember her dad had the cycle shop on Market Street.

Alan. Another name to a face. At the side of Margret Clark is Catherine Hull. Also, Terrance Heggarty and Philip Higgins should be there.

Brian, I can't see Terry Heggarty anywhere, nor can I see Philip Higginson.

Alan, would it be possible if I could have a copy of the photo from your original?

Comment by: Alan Wright on 23rd February 2015 at 13:56

No problem, Brian. How do you want to arrange it?

Comment by: Brian on 24th February 2015 at 15:11

Alan, I have included my email with the first response last week.
