Powerhouse folk in 1951

Posted by Norman Dunn on May 25, 2022, 9:27:29

I had this photo ready to ask for names, but then Ruth Waters gave the names so I've added them. 'A' is her mam Marion Thom nee Strand. Who is the man?

Norman
I don't recognise any of these folk,,only person I recall was a lad called Syd Thom,he is not on the photograph though,I spent my teenage years at the powerhouse youth club which included 1951 so I would question this photograph being that year.unless it is another one taken of the operatic society members who also were in the powerhouse.before they moved to the newly built Technical College.Hope this is helpful Norman.

Hi Lilian,
Ive edited the headline because you are as usual probably right about them being part of the Operatic Society. Ruth Waters stated her mam 'A' was a beautiful singer.

I knew Marion well. She played bowls at Primrose Indoor. She was married to Bob Thom the secretary of the bowling club. Lovely lady.
