Hope you don’t mind but I wondered if by trying to enhance this image further it might make a difference.

The fella 2nd left looks strangely familiar, anyone know who he is ?

Has a look of REG VARNEY?

Standisher, I'm not sure about the man second left but going off my childhood memories, I wondered if it is Jimmy Houghton who was a friend of my parents? I think this photo is from before I was born so he would have looked a bit older when I was growing up but I too felt I knew him as soon as I saw the photo. He lived in Leaway if I remember rightly. He is certainly a familiar face to me.
Keith, thankyou so much for the enhanced photo. It looks perfect and it is so kind of you.

It is Jimmy Houghton, sat beside him on his right is his wife Clara. They're my husbands grandparents.
