Stanford Road School

Mr Smither's class 1957
By Paul Gregory

This photo was sent to me by John Dixon (see names). He managed to name many of the people in the photo and I made a few adjustments.

This is the list so far:
Third Year at Stanford Road Primary Spring 1957. 

Back row from left: David Marsh, David Watkins, Wendy Smith, Robert Beard, ?, ?, Mike McLaren, Graeme Mabey.
Next row: Pete Spencer, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, Marquetta Joseph, ?, Brian Hussey, John Burton, Graham Goodyer, John Lambert, Paul Gregory.
Seated: Rosemary ?, Marjorie ?, ?, ?, Lynn Corbyn, ?, Ann Bevan, ?, ?, ?, ?. Front: Mike Clements, John Trory, Geoffrey Mussard, John Dixon, Stewart Maugham, John Stockbridge, Brendan Selby, Graham Smith, Paul English, Michael Joseph, Ian Townsend.

Not bad after 50+ years! Can anyone add some more names?

If you click on the photo it will open in a new window.

Further to offering the picture for publication I believe that the boy 8th from the left in the middle row was John Stanistreet - I am not certain on the 1st name or the spelling of the last name.

How amazing, I was not in this class but certainly remember some names. Perhaps embarrassing .. but I remember thinking Brian Hussey was "cool" and perhaps John Burton remembers I went to tea on a couple of occasions. I lost contact with everyone from junior school, but I was in the orchestra ( I played the treble and descant recorders ), which I recall was quite unique in a junior school at that time.

I think Rosemary was Rosemary Raphael, and Marjorie was Marjorie Brooks. Also I think it was Martin Stanistreet... maybe some other names will surface!
