Can anyone name these locals, we know a few but not them all, starting with the obvious a young looking big John Marsh in the doorway.

Next to the Landlord, Arthur Williams is I think, Fred Aspinall from Spindle Hillock, father to Madeline, Margaret and Keith.

Next to Freddie Aspinall looks like Chris Hurst. Could the one in the light clothing standing next to Luke (and not missing any drinking time lol) be Alf Edwards?

Frank Tattum (Dad)is in the middle (bald head) with Gwylmm Hughes just behind him. (Sorry about the spelling)My da has a stick so it is after he had his big accident down the pit at Bold Colliery. He lost half his foot on a chain conveyor. Would have made him a millionaire today but they just shrugged it of in those days. Real Men
