Powerhouse Names Wanted from the 1950s

Posted by Norman Dunn on June 11, 2022, 15:17:56

My old Foreman from my days at RW Transmissions mid 1960s to early 70s was the late Jimmy Elley and here he is on this Powerhouse Table Tennis team photo. What a lovely man Jimmy was & he's still helping me via this lovely photo.
Thanks to Tina Watson for passing the photo onto me from Jimmy's son, named James after his dad.
Names needed please?
Anyone recognise a relative?
Is 'B' Bill Ward who lived in Windermere Cres 1950s and who will be about 80-82 now?

I only recognise Jimmy Elley. This photo must be before 1956.

My dad tells me A is Geordie Grainger; he thinks it looks to be around 1950. Jimmy Elley would have been around 15.

Hi Norman,
B looks very much like Bill Ward in his younger days. Sadly he is no longer with us.

Hi Marie,
I'm generally good on faces and as soon as I saw the photo I thought it was Bill Ward , but Lilian & Tom both think it's Walter Hedley.Sorry to hear Bill is no longer with us. He lived in new House on Croft Tce when I visited him early 2000s.
