Joe Ward brought us this set of snaps that were taken in the winter of 1962/3. He was working for the Council as a painter and decorator but the weather was so bad there was nothing else to do and they were set on snow-clearing. In this picture Joe and casual labourers are digging out the lane to North Terrace. We have a comment from Dorothy Marsay: ”The gentleman at the back right of the photograph could be Frank Dale and it could be Doreen Cooke at the front.”
