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.

Lovely peaceful postcard view of Loftus Woods from George Skilbeck; did he take the photograph or just sell the postcard?

Yes back at the Old Bull and Bush, I don’t think we would see anyone with blackened faces today, but were you behind one of the disguises? I remember two of these minstrels were Simon Best and Steven Fenby. Simon has put on his thinking cap to identify the other boys, but we would welcome assistance. Image courtesy of Marian Toulson.  Lots of pupils in this photo, were you one of them? If so tell us what the shield was for please. Duncan Hannah tells us:”Stood at the front (striped top) is Mark Lindsey, to his right knelt down is Guy Young, to his left is Rebecca Cook and in front of her is me!” Standing to Mark’s left is Paul Stokes. We believe the lady presenting the shield is Mrs Lynn Lindsey, but what for and when? Image courtesy of Marian Toulson and thanks to Duncan Hannah for the update.
