A wonderful photo Stephen, I left Highfield in 74 but those costumes where still in use until a few years back! Got photos of my own kids wearing them in the Nativity!

Stephen, can you add a few names to the picture, so we can identify them!

Mary looks like Jane Carruthers that was, now Unsworth, her grandad{?} was Jimmy Muldoon the caretaker . . correct me if I am wrong!

Philip Lancaster as Joseph my niece Jayne Unsworth nee Carruthers as Mary.

This is from my brother Andrew's time at Highfield and the names he remembers are, from left to right:-
Andrew Kirk,David Eaves,Angels n/k,Phillip Lancaster(Joseph),Jane Carruthers(Mary),Gail Rodgers(Angel at Back),Ian Massey(shepherd stood up,Michael Jenks(next to crib(right)),Andrew Unsworth(front right end)

rh side; Kathryn Fouracre
Left of philip Lancaster (joseph) was Karen Ryan (angel)

2nd from left is David Welsby not David Eaves.

That's right. he was in my class!

gosh,what a shock.....i was in this class, i cant remember many names but im on the left of the crib knelt down at the front - Lesley Mason.

Sorry but I would never had said that was you . . . where you in Janes year? Thought you were younger . . .

yep,thats me, iv bin rackin my brains for other names,2nd one the rightfront row i think is Gary Withington(i think thats his name)he used to live on valley rd,is the 4th one on the left Gillian Ashcroft????

KAY Wright, first angel on left,next is Tracy Mills

This group must come from different classes, as Ruth Houghton (Angel 5th from left ) was in my year, not Phil's

seems so long ago now still in touch with o lot of those faces in the photo
