The Daily Herald was a Labour paper. Her husband, Mr. Charles Laurence Tindall, founded the Labour Party in Loftus. Image and information courtesy of Mrs Lilian Johnson (daughter of Mrs Tindall).  This photograph was taken by T. C. Booth, Loftus, who was the Pastor at the Congregational Church. I don’t know whether this group are on the same outing as the previous one, or if this was taken at a different time. Kilton was a popular venue for church or chapel outings, often a picnic with activities; trips from Carlin How or Loftus were a regular event (weather permitting).  With the date on the bottom corner of this photograph being 1915, and having been produced by T. C. Booth the assumption has been that it is a a trip or picnic at Kilton. It shows members of Loftus Congregational Church on an outing to Kilton Castle.  That’s what the banner says behind these men, but who were the men, what was the occasion and what group do they represent? Back row: ? Knight, ??, ??, John Waite?, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, Fred Simpson, ??, Morris Brignall, ??. Front row: Colin Riley, ??, Brian Shaw, ??, Chris Williams, Eric Parker, ??. Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection, with updates from Derick Pearson, Eric Johnson, Chris Bailes, Tony, R Simpson, Tony Shaw and Kelly Brignall.  Not approved of by many people today but this was in 1951 the Festival of Britain year and Miss Loftus was the girl on the right Doreen Magor, next to Doreen is Eileen Money with Betty Shaw next to her and Marina Ward standing at the back. The photograph has been taken on the staircase of Loftus Town Hall, the Urban District Council at that time being keen to support such activities and events. |
