Hi Derek,the girl next to MALCOLM Carter is Lilian Withington,Ralph Boulton still lives in Bamfurlong,Kev White lives down south.I am living in Canada and have been just outside of Toronto for the last 27yrs.I think Colin Eccles still lives around the avenue as do my parents.Not sure where any of the girls are.

Hi my name is Ramond Littler, I to have a photograph which was taken at the same time as this one. I believe that the Class was split up for the photograph due to it's size. From the photograph, the girl first on the front row is Yvonne Collins. I have submitted my photograph which hopefully should be on soon.

Hi Ramond I remember you from shool.
I think that this photo is of the next class.
Some of the children in the other photo are a year older than me. Pam Dumond and Kathleen Parkinson was never in my class.I know most of them.

Hi all, I think Raymond is right class was slit but I think the reason was because the ones in is photo were leaving that year.The first photo is a year or two earlier The Williams twins were younger than there sister SHEILA

Hi' I wasn't in this class and neither was Lilian Withington. We were in the year below. The second row girls I know are- Margaret Boyle, Silvia Simm, Lorraine Crease, Betty Prior, Pat Carney. Don't know the last girl at the end.
