Third row. Not Reta Manson but Gladys Robson. Note the grazing alongside the left eye. Surely no cycle training in these days!

Could it be Eileen Cload next to Sylvia Taylor?

Boy in front row is not Jacko Manson. We did not come to Longhope until 1952, and left in 1954. I am in picture #7747 (1952) as stated.
Added by John on 16 April 2009
Hi I am interested whether anyone can verify where Dennis Johnston is in the picture, Dennis is my dad and I don't recognise him as front row, second from left. As the picture is 1950, my dad would have been 11 or 12 years old
