This photo was taken in 1956 when a class of children from Rectory School were taken up to the top of the church tower. Can you help to name them.

Front row 3rd from the right I think is Roberts out of Poplar Ave, sorry I cannot remember her first name. Immediately behind her is Pamela Heaton from Cedar Grove

Middle of front row, wearing the glasses, my best friend - Marlene Atherton - hubby's cousin. A few other names - Sidney Byrom, David Roberts, Pam Heaton, Ann McIlwee

Think the girl stood up on the left is Joyce Collier.

This must have been the top class at the time,I was in the year after this one. I think I recognise Eileen Tattum top second from right.

Sue,
It isn't Joyce, she is younger. 4th from the left at the back is Maureen Sutton from Spindle Hillock.

Thanks for that Eric, she reminded me of Joyces sister Joan when she was younger, so knowing that Joan is only a year older than me I took a guess at it being Joyce. BTW I'm enjoying looking at the reunion DVD, so many photos.
