This is a marvellous picture which I have not seen for many years if at all. I can name nearly everyone on it, and when I've got a bit more time, I'l post the names here. I'm seated far right.

Well done, Rosalie, for filling in nearly all the names. It's a pity that in the last 4 years no one has filled in any of the blanks. I can't add much other than to say that between Dennis Bamber and Ernest Woods is Colin Green. I also recall it was Jean Wilkinson, not Gwen. I do not recognise the name Andrew Cunliffe. I have an inkling that sitting left of Peter Taylor is Godfrey Leach, but I can't say for sure. I still remember saying our times tables in Mrs Wolstenholme's class and the spankings she administered. My parents were friendly with her widower, Cyril W, in later life.
