An evening enjoyed by all; the chance to enjoy a drink, chatter with old friends and remember the happy days working at the Co-op.

One of a series of images from the Co-op staff reunion, Harry Hall clearly enjoyed the evening, meeting old friends again.
Enjoying the chance to meet old friends was Sheila Cocks; our question is which department did she work in? Derek Miller tells us: ”I recall Sheila working in the Co-op hardware Department, which is now the Employment Office. Her manager was a man called Cyril Bacon. She later went on to pursue a career in retail at Uptons in Redcar and M & S in Middlesbrough.” Many thanks to Derek for that update.
Former Co-op staff from Loftus gathered for one of a series of photographs. Standing: Sheila Cocks, Kath Welford, Irene Wright, Ann Ebbs. Seated: Graham ?. Can we have assistance with the missing name?
Kath Welford presents flowers to a former colleague, can we have assistance with names? From left to right: ??, Kath Welford, ??, ??.
The gathered former Co-op workers needed to move round the room to try and meet their former colleagues. The occasion saw a vast turn out of former staff, all keen to exchange stories and meet again.
A more formal picture; and we have (left to right): Sheila Cocks, Kath Welford, Graham ?, Irene Wright (Drapery) and Ann Ebbs. Many thanks to Andrew Tennant in filling in the missing name.

At the reunion, this was a familiar scene, recognising an old friend and meeting again. Friendships were renewed and contacts re-established after periods of lost contact. The whole evening was enjoyed by all.
Dating from 1959, this lovely image of the Yeates wedding with the returning bridal party. Can we have assistance with naming all of the party? Perhaps you were there and have happy memories of the event? Sue Lynn has advised: “Bride and Groom are Diana and Denis Yeates – Diana Woodall as was. Behind Diana is Heather Woodall, the bride’s sister. Both were my Dad’s daughters from his first marriage. Both are now deceased, not sure if Denis is still alive. Parents of the bride were Cec Woodall (my Dad) and Ella Dobson I think. The coincidence here is that in the previous picture Jenny Dickinson mother of the groom in that picture is cousins of the bride and her maid of honour Heather.” Barbara McBurney assists with: “The small bridesmaid at the front on the right is Sandra Watson (maiden name Flockton).” Image courtesy of Loftus Town Crier, many thanks to Sue Lynn and Barbara McBurney for the updates. |
