I thought that it was "Mr" Hall in the photo, he lived in Long Rock.

I have some similar photos taken on a Gulval Sunday School trip to the airport in 1957. Unfortunately the personnel are different but the planes look the same.

Do you know the names of the other scouts Trepolpen (Phil)?

Is the Christmas alcohol still affecting you OldPenwithian? You have 2 William Leahs!! The real one is 5th from the left in the second row from the front and next to Doffy is Ben Batten.

I looked in "Three Score Years and Ten" and the "Shepherd" must be D.K.Sheppard but I cannot remember his christian name.

I presume that many members of the orchestra are mentioned in the early pages of "Three Score years and Ten" which I have just begun reading. Do we know the names of any individuals?

A nice touch. I am surprised that Shiver Me Timbers is still going as I think the owner died a while back. I look at the hills toward Ludgvan and remember my post delivery days there as a student in the sixties. I got soaked several times!!

Interesting, thanks for that BoP.

Interesting photo, was this the stone ginger beer jar that was found in Mounts Bay? I do not understand the reference to tin and copper, does anyone know? Fish and ice, yes, but copper and ice, tin and ice?

Front row, third from left is Stuart Nicholls

Eventually ended up on the Mount where she was broken up with the scrap metal being ferried by "ducks" across the bay to Penzance Station I believe.

I think that I got that wrong, how about Dick Gay.

Just wait until 2 cars follow eachother, the second car will be lifted up as the bollard comes up!! Expensive damage. It has happened at a Bristol Golf Club and I expect on many other occasions.

Fred Jarvis, HDGS Geography teacher, is third from left seated. Didn't someone request a picture of him recently?

Fourth from right on the Terrace is Frank Nicholls, son of the original saddler in New Street and brother of the last sadler, Norman.
