Michael Johnson:- I've seen this photo before. I'm pretty sure it was taken in front of The Bricklayers Arms on Lewis Street, just off Alfred Street Central. The lady on extreme left was Mrs Dollimore who lived at No.12 Lewis Street next door to the pub. The cheeky chappie in front, I think is Derek Waterhouse who lived at No. 18 or 20. I went to school with him,Manvers in the 60's. I think Mrs Waterhouse is on the left of the lady in the centre with the handbag. My Dad was landlord of the Brickies from 67ish until demolition about 1971.

This photo was taken around 1964/5 it was taken in what we called 'the lane' which was in between Lewis Street and Dane street on Alfred St Central me on the left Mick Beck middle and John Gee we where standing outside the back entrance to the Bricklayers Arms which was on Lewis St. (Neil Watson)

Lewis Street, Brian Terazza & John Lander The actual name of the boy with the bike is John Lander not John London. He is my father and is still alive and aged 84. He lived at number 60 Lewis Street, and although the list shows the name Stanley Lander, Stanley was his fathers middle name his first name is the same as my fathers; John
