This parade was probably to celebrate either St. Georges Day or Rememberence Sunday c1953/54. The first picture of the marching scouts shows them passing the Odeon, which is showing the film ’A Queen is Crowned’. The second was taken as they passed the Shambles. Courtesy of Dorothy Butler.

Anyone know whereabouts of 1960s Scouts…..Paul Bennington and Geoff Bell? Thanks
Can anyone tell me about Brunswick coffee bar? Remembrances of those who went there late 1960s. Thanks
I second that. Mr Wardell was my arts teacher at Frederick Nattrass. He was a very nice man!
The second picture is later than the first. I am on the inside of the fourth row and on the second row is Mal Beaver 11th Stockton Brunswick. Looking at Denis Wright I would make a stab at 1957/58.
Its definitely the Wright brothers Robert & Denis in the two photos from Oxford Street and went to Bailey Street School, as mentioned by Dorothy Butler.05/04/2012 18:24:18
This is certainly Mr Patchy Wardell, art teacher, and a real gent.
I think it could be Patchy Wardell who was a teacher at Fred Nat.
I think the young man immediately to the rear of the district commissioner is Roger Atkinson who was a member of the 1st Fairfield troop. If that is the case, then later on his brothers Clifford and Geoff were also members of the same troop. Geoff unfortunately died prematurely in his early teens from cancer.02/04/2012 09:55:04

I seem to recognise the scout master, does anyone know his name please??
The first picture shows my brother Robert marching 4th behind the boy carrying the flag while the second photo shows my other brother Denis carrying the second flag as they march past the Shambles.
