Thank you Kath for posting this photo. My dad is on it and it's so good to see him. He worked at Roburite from 1928 to 1973 apart from war service 1940 to 45. I also recognize a few of his friends and colleagues. I would think the photo would be early 50s.
Back row 3rd left. My dad John (Jack) Gee. 5th left Fred Jones. 8th left Jack Rollins.
3rd row 1st right Tom Ashcroft (my uncle, he was married to my mum's sister Esther)
Also I think Alice Berry standing in front of Jack Rollins. Perhaps others will be able to name a few more.
