Anyone come from Grimesthorpe? (Part 2)

Recommended Posts

Going back to the police box, somebody's got a picture on the thread showing the back and what appears to be a black fixture at the back of the box. After much thought I'm thinking that could be the trough, if that's the case the person that said it was parallel with Earl Marshall Rd might be correct (and it makes more sense anyway) and I was wrong in my assumption that it was the other way.

Hi Brian1941 & fleetwood, This photo is a real poser! I think it might be Geoff Cottam on left of front row . I am not sure about Ian Reynolds - he may be to the right behind the bass drum. You are right re Graham Wells. Not certain but it may be Leonard Foster 3rd from left on front. I don't recognise officer top left (although he looks slightly familier) & the man 4th from left on back as well as a number of the boys, so I think it might have been some joint occasion say camp or 4th District band (shame there is no background to show where it was taken). If I am right about Ian Reynolds I think the photo must be 1955 just before I left Life Boys as I am not on it. Its a shame Ian & Les are not still with us to tell us what it is.

Any chance of contacting The Star to make contact with person who sent it to them as hopefully they would know?

Cheers, John

 

Hi John.

Could top L H corner be Harry Jarvis

I see Graham regularly and have printed a copy for him. Maybe he will recognise some faces.

Hi Tony, I think Harry Jarvis is tall staff sergeant in back row directly behind bass drum. Its a poor photo though. I have written to Star to try to get name of person who posted it & to get a better image.

Hi Brian,

 

My mother died at the bottom one opposite the school in 1999.

I found her a place there as she lived a few yards away on Adsetts Street between 1938 and 1957. Sadly she didn't seem to understand though.

 

Regards Peter.
