This was the wedding of Louis McGuire and Ronnie Patton; however the location is still unsure, can anybody assist with both location and a date. The bride was Louis McGuire and the groom Ronnie Patton (Norman Patton’s aunt and uncle). To the right of Ronnie is Betty McGuire (who was a Post Lady at Loftus for many years), to the left of Betty is ‘Tie Pin’ Ted Winspear! Norman Patton advises: “The picture could be Loftus or Liverton Mines, I guess? The likely date is around mid 1940s?” Janice Grieves nee Hardy advises: ” I think the bridesmaid in the middle was Rosalie Patton who married George Pearson. They lived on Saint Cuthberts Walk at Liverton Mines just up the street from Louie and Ron. Louie and Ron had two sons Tony and Terry. Rosalie and George had a son named Steve who has the fish shop at Liverton Mines and a daughter Linda.” Can anybody assist?

George Preston and Dorothy Light pictured in Coronation Park, Loftus 15th September 1952; after their wedding in the Congregational Church, Loftus. John Preston told the Archive: “George was born in Greatham, Hartlepool in 1907 and served for over 27 years in the Metropolitan Police (London) spanning the Second World War. After retiring from the Police, he eventually worked at the Blackett Hutton Foundry, Guisborough. Dorothy was born in Goathland in 1915, her father being killed in action in April 1918. During the Second World War Dorothy was a Leading Aircraft Woman with 402 Squadron Bomber Command. Dorothy’s mother married Fred Gallilee in 1944 and they lived in Coronation Road before moving to 41 West Road. Dorothy died in 1977 and George in 1984.”

Dating from 1959, this lovely image of the Yeates wedding with the returning bridal party. Can we have assistance with naming all of the party? Perhaps you were there and have happy memories of the event? Sue Lynn has advised: “Bride and Groom are Diana and Denis Yeates – Diana Woodall as was. Behind Diana is Heather Woodall, the bride’s sister. Both were my Dad’s daughters from his first marriage. Both are now deceased, not sure if Denis is still alive. Parents of the bride were Cec Woodall (my Dad) and Ella Dobson I think. The coincidence here is that in the previous picture Jenny Dickinson mother of the groom in that picture is cousins of the bride and her maid of honour Heather.” Barbara McBurney assists with: “The small bridesmaid at the front on the right is Sandra Watson (maiden name Flockton).”

I remember Derek McLean playing for Middlesbrough, do you? Owen Rooks tells us: ”Derek could regularly be seen on the No 65 United bus travelling to and from the Boro..and that was when he was in the first team. Professional footballers earned pretty much the same as a lot of the fans who went to see them in those days…how times have changed!!” Keith Harrison tells us: ”As Derek travelled on the 65 bus he was friendly with my Auntie Minnie Harrison of Lax Street Carlin How who was a United bus conductress based as Loftus. Derek was kind enough to get all the first team autographs for me in my first autograph album. Sadly this book is no longer in my possession.” Fred Brown also tells us: ”Similarly, one of his teammates, Derek Stonehouse who played Right Back in the same team, travelled from Lingdale to Borough on the Number 58 bus. As you say, things have changed, but he was certainly a celebrity in our little Service 58 Bubble.”
