Centre glasses and a big smile is Jimmey Brennan. chap between the trophies I think is Fred Mason
Fella between the cups is my uncle Cliff Mason man behind him is Jimmy Brennan and Tony Eastaway behind Jimmy.
The man with the hat on does any body no what is name is thanks
This will be The Royal, it was my dad's local (Bill Aldridge) glasses top right. The cups are the RFL Challenge Trophy and the Lancashire Challenge Trophy - year I'm assuming 1951/52
From 1060's ????
The man on the extreme left with a flat cap on is my grandad George Bennett, who lived in Marsh Brook and who was a regular at the Royal until he moved to Suffolk in his final years to live with my auntie.
Hi Roy thanks for making me smile.
1060's!!! taken just before the Norman Conquest, now there's a turn up for the books, oldest photograph on WW to-date. Cheers.
