Many thanks to Carl Watson for today’s Friday Photo. Something a little different too but still very relevant to Hoylake. Carl says:
I wondered if anyone recognised any of these once young ladies? Taken about, I think, 1962, at a Hoylake Photo scociety “do”, on the stage of the town hall, if I remember right, with a borrowed dinghy as a prop, and a nice painted backdrop. I wasn’t a very good photographer in those days.
Do you recognise any of these three lovely ladies? Do you remember the actual photo shoot or other similar ones held at the old Town Hall? Look forward to hearing your thoughts!
I remember the shows upstairs in Central Hall just over the road from the Town Hall.
I bet the backdrop was painted by Bill Stanley, for many years scene painter, director and Dame for Hoylake YMCA Pantomimes.
I think the Blonde is Jenny Flashman nee Dray, and the centre lady is Lorna Williamson, do not know her married name. Cannot make out the third but she would certainly have been local.
Would that have been Jenny Flashman who used to be with the West Kirby Light Opera Society ?
The very same person.
