The younger ones would be...Jean Norris.........Stella Finch.....Norman Sumner....Brian Yates......Derek Bamber.....Kieth Mc Kenna.
The minds gone a blank.
Just joined Acc web. I was a regular in the Thorn in the early sixties. I remember most of the names you mention. You are right about Gearge Tomlinson being landlord. I also remember playing footy at the church gates (and anywhere else we could find) Remember Brian and Janita Yates, Janita in same class as me at Churh Kirk primary.
