No. 36 is Josie Beasley, according to her message today on social media.
No. 5 is definitely me, Patsy Roper. I am on the next picture as well (the other half of my face.)
No. 38 is probably Rachel Koppit as her sister Zelda is No 9 on page 2.
On this photograph by the way, I was in touch on social media with Pat Roper who still says that she is Number 5, she remembers having her hair cut for a wedding that week. She also remembers standing towards the back of the group.
Two more names that I cannot find listed throughout these photos, nor can I find the faces. Josephine (Josie) Lee, who I know for sure was at LHR as she was best mates with my cousin Cassie Turner. Linda Brazier, who I can’t place at LHR, but I assumed after Laindon Park, she would have been there. Can anyone confirm?
The identity of No 24 was supplied by Ann Spooner.
I’ve been looking at the photos on the Markhams Chase recent posting. On there Josie Beasley has a clear unmistakable expression when having a photo taken. Although her hair is fuller on this picture and is not swept behind her ears as it was in her younger photos I think because of the way she is looking at the camera it is her after all at No 5. The pose is a bit like butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth but she had a sharp attitude and was a lively character. However, Pat Roper also had this kind of hairstyle and I remember it was one of her attractive features. Both were very nice girls and I wish one of them would give us all the final confirmation on where they were on the photograph.
No. 25 is Christine Rivers
At last, another one identified for real, I’ve been looking on here for Sandra Honey for nearly two years, she is well hidden behind Mavis. I’m glad Lesley has come on here to clear up all the unsolved ones, probably helpful that she marked her original photograph up at the time. Thanks as well for pinpointing Kathy Imber, my original placing for her was based on her being near Dawn Gilchrist on the photo. All we need now is Pat Roper to come back to finally get Josie sorted out.
Sandra Honey is no 19
I am afraid I do not remember the name of no 11, but it is not Cathy Imber, she is On page 5 no 8. Thanks Nina for agreeing with me on Josie Beasley No 5
No 35 is Margaret Wells and I think no 26 is Veronica Bridges.
Could No.6 be Marion Green? It looks like her.
Number 38 is Greselda Koppit, who’s father ran a taylors shop just over the railway bridge in High Road Langdon Hills.
Further to my comment at No. 20 – I think Wendy’s surname was Yates.
No 36 is Linda Francis, she lived next door but one too me.
Hi,no 9 is Janet Hughes.
OK, if 38 is one of the Koppit family, is it Rachel or sister Zelda? does anyone know on this one please? Could be there was another sister, I am not sure.
20. I used to be friends with this girl and cannot for the life of me remember her full name. I am sure it was Wendy. She lived on the corner of Elgar Close/Kathleen Ferrier Cres. I had moved to Elgar close from Devonshire Rd. Next door to her lived Alan Eames (Named elsewhere in the photos)
38 – could it be one of the Koppit girls?
No 4 Rose Cooper. No 8 Pauline Bardot. No 9 is a twin to No 30 on photo 4 Catherine & Margaret ??
11 Kathy Imber
I’m No 31 Caroline Franklin (née Brown). I was there from Sept 58 until July 62.
Hello Pat, I am like you, I can see the faces but the names take a while to come back. Or you remember some names but cant see the person on the photo! I was in Mr Rees’s class for most of my time there, through to the fifth year. In my class were the boys – Malcolm Scott, Martin Brown, Martin Graves, Geoff Heather – girls Vanessa Crew, Mary Baker, Janet Smithers, Jacqui Sheppard, loads of others, they are all on here. I do remember you with that mascara though. And Anne Edwards with her heels.
Hi Richard thanks for the comment 🙂 It’s so frustrating looking at all these faces I remember all of them, but not there names. What class were you in and can you remember names? I have so many old pictures of my friends, but sadly none are at school. I’m still living in Lee Chapel north would have loved to go back to Langdon Hills but it’s not the same. I think the Council have ruined it. .
No 30 is Edna Crowe, No 36 Linda Francis? No39 Marion Caulfield.
15 Dawn Gilchrist
Nice to see Pat Roper on this site, although we were not in the same class, we were in the same year through LHR. Sad to read of Pat’s house being demolished after purchase by Basildon Development Corporation for no apparent reason. It was fortunate that when our family moved away in 1963 and also sold out to BDC our house No1 Nichol Road is still standing and has reverted to private ownership. Nice also to hear that Anne Edwards is ok (what a pretty pair of girls you were ):))
No 39 is Marion ?
I think no 5 is me Pat Roper :-))
13 Enid Walden
No.3 is Sylvia Andrews.
No. 31. Caroline?
14 looks like Marion English
No 14 is 100% Marian Irish, believe me, we were courting at the time of this photo. In fact she is my x wife.
Editor: Thanks Les I was becoming giddy.
No 14. I still claim her name is Marian Irish. She used to live in Bourne Avenue, very close to me.
A little bit of confirmation about. No. 14. Marian Irish used to live in a plotland bungalow called ‘Herandi’ in Bourne Avenue before it was made up. (Very close to where I used to live). Her parents were Eileen and Frederick Irish. I have an electorial register from that time and checked on there for confirmation.
Editor: Thanks Nina
Does everyone realise if you click on NEXT, it shows the next section. I cannot help a lot with names as not at LHR until 1959/60 but I already see many familiar names on page one. Great job Ian.
No.14 is definitely Marion English
Oh! Andrea and Ian, well done, what a mamoth job that will be but it will be fabulous if it pays off. Come on guys and girls lets put some names to these photos, warm regards Ken.
I wish my copy of the photo was as clear and in as good a condition. 7. Patsy Tyler. 14. Marian Irish. 16 and 17. Twins Elaine and Stella Clace. 18. Maureen Willits. 21. Daphne Hanby. 22. Brenda Lewis. 23. Mavis Hay. 28. Pat Lester. 32. Vivien Bragg.
Another one. No. 2 is Barbara Lee-Smith
Yes Ken I do have the major picture given to me by Richard Haynes many years ago as mine got very shabby. I have since partitioned it down and I do have a lot of names. Give me time and I shall let you have them.
No 27 is Linda Gilbert No. 33 is Jackie Holt No. 34 is Jennifer Plumb No. 14 is ? English I do know 2 others but cannot remember their names for now. Robin might be 32
Fantastic, to late for me but I hope to see some younger friends on there and maybe my little brother Fred.
Editor: as soon as this is finished I will be working on the 1956 group.
What a fabulous idea, everyone numbered, it will take ages (I’m at the other end!) as a start number 37 is Jean Haswell. Come on you lot, who are the others?
