    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] My gosh! Thanks Quasymody, I had seen that image but not looked at it closely enough to realise they were so similar. Everyone is sitting in the same spots (but back to front) and in slightly different poses. It has to be the same day! The photos in this batch are slowly being digitised, I'll bet the other images in the article will pop up in our collection too. Thanks again :)

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Haha Quasymody you just made our day with that find! It is definately the indomitable David Carment and we are sending the image to Mr Carment's great-grandson for his own records :)

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] THanks Quasymody! Fantastic level of detail. It is a pretty amazing image in that it allopws us to see the building work on a practical level. Had not made the Ned Sheridan cricketing connection either :)
