I think may be no 6 the boys standing at the back looks very much like my eldest brother Jimmy Barker who was born1930-1?he was one of 7 boys in the family of 10 children,my self and my brothers all went to the Quay Board School.
Ps. I wonder if GED B will confirm it.
Again on the back row boy no 3 rd from left looks very much like a Jimmy Rickerby a new when serving my time in Palmers shipyard in the 50s in the joiners shop ,he would have been in his 50s about then, Jimmy lived on Hedgely road near the old fire station.

Tom I can see your Margaret in number six,being your Jimmy the resemblance is uncanny.I came across a letter That Margaret sent me many years ago.I think it was her 70th birthday party she had invited me to.but I wasn't well at the time and sadly I could not go.

Hi Tom,
I got a lend of thatphoto from Jimmy Rickerby many years ago so knew he was number 3.
Other names are along the bottom of the photo and there is definitely a lad called Barker on it as you will see.
