Fred, I think I have got as much information as I am going to get...see my second post above. We were surprised to find that the photo was taken at Newcastle and that the regalia belonged to No.1535 County Lodge, Hebburn, with its base in South Drive. We thought that it was a Lodge somewhere in Yorkshire but were quite wrong.

Allan, yes there is a similarity between regalia. I have heard it said in the past that RAOB was the poor mans Freemasons.
