Can anyone put names to any of these lads? I know one, Colin Brown from Standish, last trainee on front row right. This would have been around 1953.

I was there 3 years later, although I perhaps should, I cannot recognise any of these.

It appears that when a group photograph was taken at Low Hall, they always used the same location.
My group was taken at this location, in Spring, 1950. Mining. Set9.

Peter, i know Eric but i cant liken that lad to him.

Comment by: Roy on 4th November 2014 at 00:38

Giovanni, which is Wally?

Comment by: Roy on 4th November 2014 at 10:09

I have dug a bit deaper and i'm redating this photo to 1951. Peter, Eric was born in 1940 so i dont think he would be part of this intake.

Roy - he's wearing red and white striped socks!

It does appear that none of the lads' on this photograph has looked at the photograph, to give a conclusive answer to the various queries.

Thank you Albert you are correct, Giovanni if you cant be sensible then dont bother at all.
