I can fill in some names. Back row......Charlie was Charlie Wynn, he was for many years a London cabby who had some amazing stories that we use to enjoy every lunchtime, Richard was Dick Rae. Front row.......John is John Baldwin. This photo was taken by my Dad, Joe Blackman, it was originally a slide which I still have so he must have converted to photos at some stage and given them to various people. One sad note, Johnny Allen was married to Sandy, who also worked at the factory but sadly she passed away 2 years ago. They emigrated to Canada in 1972 and I stayed in regular contact with them both. This photo was taken around 1965 or '66 and we were all Storemen working on what was then Ferguson Radio Corporation on Denton Island part of the 'Thorn' group of Companies.
