Another great photo from John Davison.
John says “this photo was taken in the early 1950’s in a room above the co-op store .The women on the left is Lily McGurrell and the women at the back is Mrs Sutcliffe. The “wee lad” at the front with the checked shirt is Walter Sutcliffe and the young girl to the left is his sister. Other lads and lasses remain unknown. Mainly because I was about 2 when this photograph was taken”.
