 A good see-saw but I don’t think health and safety would let you get away with anything like it today, what fun they have spoiled. On the seesaw: Peter Spearpoint, B. Goldby, W. Morrish, B. Craggs, ? Fox, Sheila Spearpoint. Can you identify anybody else? Image courtesy of Marian Toulson; also thanks to Ken and Sylvia Spearpoint for the updated names.  The stockade is built now. But no names here; can you see yourself? Image courtesy of Marian Toulson.  Looks like farming here with Ann Dodsworth and John Thornton. Image courtesy of Marian Toulson.  Looks like some sort of ritual here can anyone remember what it was? Where are you in the picture? Image courtesy of Marian Toulson.  Looks as though the Roman’s have arrived, were you a Roman? Image courtesy of Marian Toulson.  I know the first Roman is Derek Armstrong were you one of the others? Image courtesy of Marian Toulson.  The last in the album and written on the page is:- ‘After a heroic defence the Brigante warriors are over powered and submit to the trained Roman Army.’ Ahhhhh don’t cry, just admit which one was you if you were there. Image courtesy of Marian Toulson.  Ready to fend off the invading Romans are Barry Matson, Ken Greening and Terry Blades, unfortunately we know the Romans won. Hard luck lads.

The Romans again; yes we are back at the Festival of Britain 1951, the Romans have won the battle, the boys are:- Back row: Michael Cornforth, ??, Terry Blades, Bobby Barber, ??. Front row: Bobby Morrison, Philip Mortimer, Ken Greening, ??. Help is needed with the missing names; do you know them or are they your dad or granddad? Image courtesy Terry Blades.
A Friths postcard and as it says – Loftus Woods – but this was in the days long before landslips and the restructuring of the hillside that went on more recently. As the other image of Loftus Woods is clearly marked Skilbeck our viewers will understand our confusion; however the Archive is now aware that Friths often used local agents to produce photographs.
