Photograph taken during the demolition of Crooke Hall. Can anyone put names to the two girls?

If any present day relatives of these two girls have inherited their ancestor's obvious like of 'spoil', them they would be quite welcome to help me collect wood for my Bommie, next year.

Philip: Partial to a bit of treacle myself at this time of year. Not related and unable to name the girls, but according to the link below one of them is Mary Ann Aspinall. Good luck with the collection and beware of raiders.

Thanks T.D. The site that you suggested has loads of great photos, and dates Ron's photo to 1937.
