In last week's Goole Times we featured two old pictures which recalled an age when the town was still noted for its thriving ship-building companies.
The black-and-white photo, both taken in the 1950s, showed ship-builders putting the finishing touches to a new vessel in the old Dog and Duck boatyard, and another which featured a group of men and women at an annual dinner dance at the Cross Keys Hotel in Bubwith.
The common denominator which linked the two pictures was ship company called Claude Campling (Goole) Ltd.
It was C. Campling ship-builders who are in the dockyard picture - putting the finishing touches to a new vessel called Kimberley for Associated Lead Manufacturing of Newcastle - and it was C. Campling which hosted the annual dinner dances.
Last week Goole resident Allan Lister was able to provide us with some of the names of the people in the picture - including May Campling, Allan's father Jack Lister, his mother Harriet Lister, Jack Young and a Mrs Cotter.
Now, thanks to one woman who was one of the party set that night, we are now able to name many more.
Perry Durrant (née Leetham), who still lives in the area, is pictured fourth from left. To her immediate right is Jean Baines (nee Frood), and behind them (two rows back) is John Alden.
Fourth from left on the back row is a Mr Sweeting, whose first name Mrs Durrant can't recall, and the third woman from the left is Shirley Robinson. To her right is May Walker and next along is Mary Walker. Just between these two (in the next row back) is John Walker, whose daughter Janet Walker is pictured to the right of Mary Walker.
On the front row (left) is Jeff Midup and in the centre is Gordon Gowthorpe. To his right is Denis Johnson. (12-06-75 SU)
