I think that's Mr Liptrot in the red jumper & specs - he was a violinist and pianist at school.

inbetween Catterall and Stuart Liptrot is Jonathon Footitt

Whups - it's a different Stuart Liptrot from Jem & Sheila's son. This Stuart lived in booths brow road opposite Brocsteads avenue, and sadly passed away a few years ago
