 The Brotton Women’s Institute in costume for a show. Anybody we know? Simon Chapman tells us: “The lady in the top hat to the right was Bessie ? the Post Lady, I think. Fourth from the right, lady in the back row is Mrs. Atkinson.” Image courtesy of Julie Riddiough and thanks to Simon Chapman for the update.  I had forgotten what the festival of Britain was all about so I have checked with Google and it ’Celebrated the Nation’s Recovery after the Second World War’. Do you remember the pageant on Hird’s field in Loftus and were you there? I think this was Mavis Cuthbert under the disguise; some of those around her are:- Pat Vasey, Ann Dodsworth and Barbara Craggs, any other names welcomed. Image courtesy of Marian Toulson, names to date courtesy of Joan Jemson.  Once again the Festival Of Britain, can you see anyone you know? I can see Clive Cummings James Peart, Neil Theaker,Valerie Watson, Ann Dodsworth, Barry Matson, Bobby Barber, Marjorie Easton. Image courtesy of Marian Toulson and names to date from Joan Jemson.
The following photographs were taken from a photograph album named ’The Coming Of the Romans’ by Loftus Junior School. These are the names under the photograph:- Lyndon Lambelle, Derek Rowe, Terry Blades, R. Fox, Clive Cummings, Philip Mortimer, John Coverdale, Richard Jackson and Eric Parker; can you see yourself here? Don’t be shy point yourself out. Image courtesy of Marian Toulson.  Names for this photograph are: P. Mortimer, L. Smith, J. Thornton, Terry Blades, Neil Theaker and D. Plews. If I remember rightly most of the schools in the area took part in this pageant. Image courtesy of Marian Toulson and names and memories from Joan Jemson.  A good see-saw but I don’t think health and safety would let you get away with anything like it today, what fun they have spoiled. On the seesaw: Peter Spearpoint, B. Goldby, W. Morrish, B. Craggs, ? Fox, Sheila Spearpoint. Can you identify anybody else? Image courtesy of Marian Toulson; also thanks to Ken and Sylvia Spearpoint for the updated names.  The stockade is built now. But no names here; can you see yourself? Image courtesy of Marian Toulson.  Looks like farming here with Ann Dodsworth and John Thornton. Image courtesy of Marian Toulson.  Looks like some sort of ritual here can anyone remember what it was? Where are you in the picture? Image courtesy of Marian Toulson.  Looks as though the Roman’s have arrived, were you a Roman?
