Fletcher Millers 1952

Today we have some rather excellent photos from Tony Downend...They show a Fletcher Millers Christmas Party.

They are of more innocent times when a works Christmas Party meant a Fancy Dress Ball not a pub crawl !!

I love them ! :)

Oaklands Revisited

 A great addition to the Oaklands memories from John who used to live there!
Thanks so much, John :)

From John  " I lived there from 1960 to 1966 with my parents who ran the Masonic Lodge. Have some wonderful memories. Never saw "Flora" though.

Here a pic of me circa '60. Plus some others of the staff and a nice one taken at the rear of the hall. Plus the lodge room set up for a feast which my dear old mum worked so very hard to create."

I think there are more memories which I'll add tomorrow when I find out where Tom has put them :) !

Hyde Mystery Photograph

Another mystery photograph for which I am seeking information. I am fairly sure the photo was taken somewhere in Hyde. There is an advert for the Scala picture house, and for pet supplies. The large building wall to the left is a bit baffling. Just who are the men in the picture, where are they and what are they doing. It's over to you.

If anyone is interested I have a quantity of my book available (Hyde The Third Selection) for sale at below half price. They are brand new and are now at £6.00 + £1.50 P & P (original price £12.99). Please e-mail me at taylorpaul@btinternet.com if interested.

B-C-H NORTAN ENGLAND CHAMPIONS

I'm sure that 'Nortan' is dialect for Northern, I'd love to know what this group was the Champions of, and what the initials B-C-H stood for.  Any sugestions... anyone
