    My cousin Richard Calver b.1923 at Station Farm, Stanhoe would have been about 6 years old in 1929. The boy on the front row and last on the right hand side could be Richard. I have a photo of Richard Calver aged about 4 so his features would have changed a bit in two years. My hunch being proved right or wrong depends on when Mrs Mackie was the Headmistess. Can somebody please adise?

    A family by the name of Wells lived at Stanhoe Station. Your subject No 48 could be the olded boy: Joe. My cousin Jane Hill (born 1942) and I spent our annual holidays at Station Farm and Joe Wells and his younger brother Noel Wells often helped out on the farm during the 1950's. Jane certainly recalls Joe and I expect he was a little older and born about 1940. The picture taken in 1947 would make him about 7 or 8 years old.

    Nellie Wright was indeed the post lady who delivered the mail, Eastern Daily Press and the Farmer Weekly to Station Farm 6 days a week arriving on her bike with a cheeful "G'Morning Mr Calver - here's you post then.

    I forgot to pose the questions about the wooden beam running up the right edge of the portait - could this be part of the Railway Platform furniture - a Platform Sign and the bolted metal plate possibly with a right angle of a Platform Name Plate running just across the top edge but out of shot? What about the metal ring stapled onto the brickwork on the left side. Were animals in transit on the railway tied to it until the train arrived maybe/ Look closely at the railway buidlings and other archived images to help me discover the actual location and then to discover how it has changed in the pat 110 years.

    Publican Ernest Houldin with wife Alice and daughters Winifred (pigtails) and Marjorie (with bow). The lady on Marjorie's left is quite possibly Alice's mother, Annie Maria Smith born Middlesex in 1853. Other folk pictured are unknown.
