We would have been about 14 years old when this photograph was taken, it shows Class B, my final year at school. I am on the front row of girls third from the right, I was Freda Leek in those days. All of these students will now be around 80 years of age. If anybody recognises any of these people then please do write in.

Hello my grandma is Cynthia Robinson. She passed away in 1997. If you have anymore school photos of her I would really appreciate if you could forward them on to me so I could show my dad (her son).
I am replying on behalf of my aunt Freda.
Yes her brother is David Leek, he had the hardware shop in Mill Lane, Billingham for many years, he is now retired and living in Hartlepool.
I can’t help with Derek Towers but I did know an Eddie Towers of Cotswold Crescent Billingham, Derek will be close to 80 years of age and Eddie is about 67 years of age, a brother perhaps?.
Derek Towers? Top row 3rd from right, could this be the Derek Towers of the Up North Combine Racing Pigeon Transport Organisation, Sappers Corner, Greatham, Hartlepool, daughter Pam?
Was your brother named David Leek?
