Brian Clenton contacted me again just before Christmas and asked if I could round these two photos again, as he’s still looking for names and information about the people in them – and they’re wonderful images, so it’s a pleasure.
Brian is of course a member of the noted local family of butchers who for a long time had a shop on Lindon Road near Anchor Bridge that many older local readers will recall – if you can’t this post here will jog your memory.
These two images were part of a larger set Brian sent in earlier here which are well worth a look.
Always happy to help readers with this sort of thing, so if you can help, please do… comment on this post, or mail me: BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com.

Chubby Davis holding the shield,and Melvin Cottrell next to you Brian.remember a few visits home with you,Brian in our school days.also remember Robert Hale in the clayhanger group.
Sorry can’t help with the photo either,
but do remember the Clenton family, in fact I delivered newspapers to the
shop down the Anchor for Tomlinsons, around 1958/60.
Also played football for the junior school up till 1956 when I went to the grammar school in Litchfield and became a ‘grammar grub’.
I now live in Helsinki,Finland
With reference to the Clayhanger pig roast photograph.
My sister and I are two of the children and my Auntie Dot is an adult with a tray.
My sister, then Josephine Cooper, is the second person in from the back row from the left. I am the little girl with blonde hair standing in front of her. ( She has her hands on my shoulder). My name then was Jill Cooper.
My Auntie, Dorothy Smith, is the fourth lady in from the right. She is holding a tray, has an apron on and is standing next to a little girl. Hope this helps.
Hello
Me again. I think the year for the hog roast at Clayhanger is more likely to be 1961.
