The title is all we have to go with – kindly donated – but we seek guidance. We believe from the background it is close to Skinningrove works, but that makes the puzzle more interesting. Loftus Specials at Carlin How, why? Can anybody help? Reg Wilson has advised: ”I believe that the person back row 4th from right is my father, George Wilson, Late of 35 High Row, Loftus.” Many thanks to Reg Wilson for that update.  A gathering of special policemen, believed to have been in the upstairs of Loftus Police Station. Anyone know what the occasion was? Back row: G. Blaylock (Loftus), F. Reynolds (Skinningrove), J. Hardy (Loftus), S. Thornton (Hinderwell). Andrew Lindsley remembers: “George Lindsley was my Grandfather. He lived at 23 West Road, Loftus. I remember on special occasions I was allowed to wear his uniform when I was a child.“ Thanks to Andrew Lindsley for the update.
The games room in Loftus Police Station – this must have been an official function, can anyone identify the group or the event? The gentleman with the beard at the rear of the group looks suspiciously like Neil Empson. L to R: Bert Davey, PC John Liley, PC Jimmy Agar, PC Bill Hutchinson, PC Peter Crosier, Maurice Stephenson, Neil Empson, Mr Littlewood, Mr Mapplebeck, Harold Norminton, PC Alf Souter, PC Bruce Wallace, Inspector Cullingworth. Linda Anderssen tells us: ”My Dad is in this picture – and I remember a number of the other men – I lived in the Police Houses when I was a child, I also remember the room at the top of the police station where the snooker tables where. I used to feel on top of the world when I had climbed the beautiful spiral staircase to the top on the rare occasions when I was allowed to visit.” Sue Mulholland (nee Wallace) tells us: ”My dad, P.C Bruce Wallace (almost hidden from view), is second from the right.” Thanks Eric Johnson, Ken Gillance, Tina Woodrow (nee Whetton), Linda Anderssen, Sue Mulholland (nee Wallace) and Audrey Souter for updates. |
