Residents of Lomond Avenue, Billingham c1953

These photographs show some of the residents of Lomond Avenue, Billingham around the time the Queens Coronation. I recognise a lot of the faces but the names I know for certain are:

In the football team, standing extreme right is Arthur Davies and 4th from the right is my Dad, John (Jack) Dunn. Kneeling 3rd from right is Eric Rhodes.

In this photograph my mum is standing 2nd from the left.

  2. My family lived in Lomond Ave me and my brother were born there in 1950. I remember you across the road and the Rhodes family and the first time I had seen a car in the street.

  3. I’ve got a few more names… In the team picture, my dad, George Mills, is standing 2nd from right. We lived at no.4. The giant in the back row is ‘Big Jim’ Davison, no.63, and kneeling in the white jumper, next to ‘Dusty’ Rhodes, is Bill Clough, from no.18. In the second photo, George and my Mam Agnes are sitting in the front row, next to Bill Clough. Jim Davison in the back row, with wife Iris in front of him, next to your mum, Malcolm. May be Lily Clough next to Iris, and Jock Simpson next to Mrs Dunn.

  4. I knew a couple of class mates, in Billingham North, who lived in Lomond. Chris Rhodes, and Linda Metcalf, during the 1950’s. Perhaps their parents are amongst those in the photograph.
