Crispin Arms, Sunday Regulars 1951
Photo: Keith

A colourised version, plus portraits, of a b/w photo I posted long ago. I may have got some of the names in the incorrect order I apologise in advance for that but hope the majority are correct. When I took this photo think I was around 9 years old, using a Kodak "box brownie". My father the tenant landlord of the Crispin Arms, Birkett Bank, is in the front with the white shirt. He’s taken the pub, with his wife, in January 1950.
