1945 Shirley Richmond.jpg

Following on from Carron Cunningham's photo of VE day celebrations 1945, Nedderton school this is the parents of the village also celebrating posted by  Shirley Richmond  and she has named No 25 & 43. The names for No 19 & 20 from Clare Gates who commented No 19 was her dad. 

@Canny lass - do you think this group are all Village people or do you recognise anyone that would have lived at the colliery.?

I can't recognise anyone by name but nr 15 bears a strong resemblance to Esther Rochester who had the shop at Netherton Colliery but lived in the village. However, if these are all parents then it can't be her because she and Bob didn't have any children. Nr 42 is very familiar and, as I didn't know any adults from the village, apart from Esther,  she could have lived in the Colliery. The sheer number of women on that photo leads me to suspect that some of them must have been from other than the village. I don't think there were so many families there. Sorry. Can't be of any more help on this one.

@Canny lass - thank you - it was just that a few Facebook group members think  they were colliery people  - just testing your memory🙃
