The Archive realised that this was some form of Naval function which Norman and Hilda Barwick attended. Roger Barwick assisted with: “I can’t help much with names but the occasion may be the visit of HMS Diomede in June 1981 to Middlesbrough. I have a small commemorative ash tray which was presented to my Mam, which is apt really when you look carefully at the photograph and it is probably Commander Pepe sat between my Mam and Norman.”

Lots of official chains in view and Norman is on the far back left but who else is there and what was the do? Peter Appleton has advised: “The gentleman third from the right looks to me like it might be a young Bob Brunger. He was, for part of his life, chairman of Skelton & Brotton Urban District Council. If my identification is correct then this gathering looks like a gathering of dignitaries from the various local authorities and the date must be before 1974, when the U.D.C.s were abolished. It is possible that Bob might be able to supply additional names.” The Archive will ensure Bob Brunger has sight of hopefully improved image and assist in other identification; the Archive also believes that the lady to the right of Bob Brunger is Audrey Collins.
