Does anyone remember the Gibson family living at 13 Summerhouses Square? William and Mary were my ggg grandparents.
Some of these neckerchiefs look a bit pale for First Norton who were green and red. Maybe its the lighting…
I’m not sure but the scout leader on the right hand side looks like Mr Yuill who was a teacher at the National School Thornaby, also scout leader he is also on my photo Grange Road Coronation Street party celebrations. They had a son David, and daughter, Margaret. He is the spitting image of him if not him. I hope I am correct. I usually have a good eye and memory for faces. Regards Judy heslop
The lady in the uniform was Daisy Staples. She was a Cub Mistress at St Paul’s but was also a one time ACC for cubs. The man next to Norman Huckle was Stan Yuill the then District Commissioner. I started as a Cub Instructor with Daisy and she taught me so much. That was when I was only 15 and working for my Queen’s Guide Award in the early 60s. I have just this year retired as a GSL in East Yorkshire but still have a connection. I will show my mum Annie Hanrahan this photo to see who she recognises.
Scout Leader Norman Huckle is second from right (front row)
The lady is, I think, Mrs Spring, who I knew as Arkela of 6th Stockton Cubs at St Pauls church in Bishopton Road. Must have been 1950 or thereabouts. In normal life she had a wool shop in Dovecote Street. Lovely lady.
