This photograph was taken in No.1 fitting shop, where the small rail inspection cars and gang trolleys were assembled. I should remember the names of more people than I do but time blurs the memory. Third from the left at the back is John Walsh, and in the front row extreme left is my very good friend Brian Godfrey.

Perhaps I can add to Mick Nottage memory. From the left Back Row is Charlie Cutmore, ? , John Walsh, Jim Spencer, Percy Carter, Wally Brown. Centre Row is Billy from Ghana, Arthur Bassill (Foreman), George Pearce, George Willshire, ? . Front Row iis Brian Godfrey, ? , Walter 'Boxer' Clift, George Patmore. Have checked with Percy Carter (who will celebrate 90 years in January) to confirm my memory. Can anyone else add to the names?.

The chap second/third from the left on the back row (in the dark overalls) looks like my uncle; Tony Andrews. He was an employee at Wickham for many years until made redundant by its closure.
