This photograph shows the Bone Street garage staff of C.W. Chapman & Son from around the mid 1940s. My father William (Bill) Longmuir is far left with who I believe is Walter Chapman standing next to him. My father began his apprenticeship with Chapmans as a Fitter and Turner in 1940 and was subsequently employed as a Tradesman. He left in 1946 to do his two years of National Service and returned to Chapmans in 1948 working almost exclusively with developing equipment for the Blast furnace Industry. He left in 1954 to work at ICI Billingham until emigrating to Australia in 1963. Hopefully someone recognises the other faces in this photo and can put names to them.

A school photograph capturing the scoundrels of form 4A if memory serves, I think it was 1970 but I’m not sure… I found it among my deceased mothers possessions and thought some my like to have a shot at putting names to faces, identify the living…. and the departed. I can name almost all. I am second from the right front row sat next to Tony Bailey first right. With “Billy Cap” sitting proudly in the centre who ruled over the class with a rod of iron, and a table tennis bat with which he dealt out summary justice on the spot!

I believe this was taken during a concert or pantomine at St. Mary’s Girls School c1925/30. My aunt is sitting in the centre. I’m afraid I have no idea of the other girls’ names.
My aunt, Madge Moore, born in 1919 unfortunately died of Leukaemia in 1936. Her twin was Denny, her other brothers were Jim and Tom and her sister was Kitty, my mother.

Can anyone help? This photograph shows the Stockton Domino Charity Cup. I’m not sure of the names of people or the year. It must belong to someone in my wider family history as the cup was passed on to the grandson of my uncle. My uncle’s name was James Fallon. Please let me know if anyone knows anything about it.

My dad’s name is Peter Fawbert and he is to the left of the photograph. He was born in 1943 and worked at Head Wrightson from being an apprentice until he was 30, so I imagine he was in his teens/early twenties when this photograph was taken, which would put it at around 1960-1970. I do know that he was a fitter and turner. The guy to the right is his friend Peter Such (I think that’s the correct spelling). They remained friends after leaving Head Wrightson.

Life experiences were gained with participating as a member in the Boys Brigade. Goals achieved through many disciplines of activities and badges attained to show your progress. Sharing responsibilities and respect with others in the company with pride in what is achievable, both individually and as a team. The photograph only shows me, though the trophy represents the first aid team and coach/officer in 1970. Many bonds of friendship were established at that time and held in high esteem as one remembers back. The officers then coached in many ways with enthusiasm and dedication in their duties. A mantle to carry forward for future generations to aspire, a wonderful organisation to have been a part of in my life.

This group of men and boys stood around an ice cream cart, look to some of the same men who were in the Proud Dads photograph. Anyone have any clues as to who they are?

The drawing of the Maison brought back memories of my personal transport and Guard dog, I had to go into Arab Villages unarmed, a lifetime ago.
