Chairman and Mrs. Woodrow are second from the left, but who are the other people and when and where was the photograph taken? Image courtesy of Carole Kellogg.  Carole Kellog advised the Archive regarding this image: “It was a Daily Mirror contest I entered and got through to the finals. It was taken in Newcastle, the year I would have to guess around 1961/62. I think the girl that won was the second from the left in the front row, and I believe she came from Redcar. I am on the far right of the back row. I have no idea who the rest of the girls were, but they came from around our area.”Image and information courtesy of Carole Kellog.  This photograph dates from 1951 when Fred Woodrow was the Chairman of Saltburn & Marske Urban District Council. Mr. Pickering is on the right and Carole thinks that the lady in the picture was Mrs. Pilkinton.
