Does anyone recognise any of the people in the photo?

Pauline Lindsay… Yes all of them used to go to Ore Social, my husband’s back right xx

Lloyd Johnson… The lad with the monkey is Johnny Wright. He was one of my best friends when I was a kid. I recognise a few others but can’t remember their names. Is the second from the right Richard Cornford?

Richard Cornford… looks like Ashby on Elephant Hooky next to him with Pilbeam and Dave Cottee behind Dicky Pankhurst on the left

Peter Mitchell… Could be Brian Redfern on the front right
