Alan Fieldhouse is operating the console for the lifting Jacks, Alan Stazicker is in the foreground (AKA stilson Staz. Gordon Tomlinson is looking on with interest. Anybody know who else is present?
chap on the left lookin at camera looks like fitter martin from warrington, still there 2this day
Looks like Jack Ashly beside the jacking console.
The guy farthest away from the camera looks like Mick Langton and the one in front - whose name escapes me at the moment - lived in Poolstock lane, Marus Bridge with his father, who was at that time, the area Boiler Inspector. Does this ring any bells?
After a further look I now think the one furhest from camera is Dennis Fishwick and the one stood next to him is Dick Wareing of Poolstock Lane. The console operator is Alan Fieldhouse, seen during his "tash" days - must have been working Higher Grade Duty to Shift Foreman as the console operator was always a Supervisory role.
