Here is a pic of another Coal Queen. Anne Melling, her father was Alan Melling and I think that he came from Whelley somewhere. Alan was a deputy at Parkside

Besides the Coal Queen there was the Queen Of Industry Competition. The finals were held at the Casino Club.

This is no time for mirth, girls. One of these days I'll be up your neck of the woods to spring a surprise on one of your Tete-a-tetes. Regards.
