Now the photos that were on my original website.

Here is a collection of photos from an Annual Sports Day, 1958. Again, if anyone can correct any errors, or fill in any gaps, then please e-mail me.

Part of the interest here is in the backgrounds - does anyone recognise other chums or members of their family?

8 - Dickie Duckett just beats Frank Bowering to the line.
