Was this photo taken in Queen St? Could that be Mr Jackson, the headmaster of St Thomas's on the left.

It dosen't look like Arther Jackson, J.P.to me Jean.If I remember rightly,Queen St,was at the end of a long walk!

Maybe it was Mr.Atkinson who was a sort of stand in C.of E.priest and a real broad Irishman.He used to march us round the upstairs hall at Clayton St.youth club and tap out our marching time with a billiard cue on the floor .

Mr Atkinson (Joe) was my dad. It’s not him on the photo. He was a lay reader at St Thomas (before my time) so would probably walk at the front with the clergy. My mum Evelyn used to help out at the youth club too. Nice to see my dad get a mention. He never lost his Irish accent!
