Cliff Ton 10,454 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Here's another from a slightly different angle; I don't know the date but it appears to be about the same time, and it's definitely pre-1900 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Creeky 35 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Can you pick anyone out in this old crowd photo? Taken at City Ground, could be cup winning year 1959, but think it is perhaps a few years later. The position of the shot was to the right of the old "Shippo's Ivor Thirst Score Board" on the side opposite the bench. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilboro-lad 294 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Maybe it's my rose tinted specs, but the people in the picture look far more friendly than they do today. They were just a nicer generation. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Commo 1,292 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Bilboro-lad, re #11, Mrs Commo has just said the exact same thing before she read your post. On the second row up, right hand side with the quiff and the light coloured jacket, I reckon that's my old mate Derek Shaw, went to BHGS with him and he lived on Wilford Hill and worked at the Guardian Royal Exchange in City House on Maid Marian Way. If it is him, then the photo would probably have been around 1961 - 1962 just before we left school. (Of course, it could be a look alike.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
