Hi Smorfee,

Lovely to hear from you. I haven't lived in Marple long enough to know your family or the shop but it is always nice to hear from former residents. What took you to Spain and how long have you been there?

RH.

Can you describe which photo your dad features in @smorfee?

He is not tagged in the captions but can certainly be added if you can identify the right photo / person.

Got it! I was searching for "Boys" not "Lads"

Marple Church Brigade Lads c1950
This photo of the Church Lads Brigade (CLB) and Junior Training Corps (JTC) was taken in the old Parish Hall on Chadwick St. The company was attached to All Saints' Church. Names we know are added to the comments. Can you help fill the gaps? Provided by Alan McFall.

CLB back row L to R:Bob Smith, Brian Morfee, Ray Taylor, unknown.
CLB middle row L to R: David Seymour(?), Barry Shaw, Keith Barber, unknown.
JTC: of the 5 younger lads on right (with ties) the middle one at the front is Bob Ingham and the one behind him may be a Bradbury (son of the Market St Cobbler), the others are not known.
Can you help identify anyone better?
