| HERE'S a worse-for-wear but fascinating old picture of a firm's outing that may strike a few chords with some of our older readers. It belongs to Mr. R. A. Beardsmore, of Wollaston Road, Irchester, who believes it dates from 1926.
The event was the outing of T. Swindall and Sons, a building firm, incorporating A. T. Nichols, the decorators. One memorable thing about the trip was that the bus broke down on the way home and the merrymakers had to wait several hours for a replacement vehicle! Some of the names Mr. Beardsmore remembers are Clem Brown, Bert Swindall, Collins, Mason, Alf Nichols, Albert Edwards, Tom Parker, Jack Maycock, Ossie Church, Hinde, Barker.
Anyone else remember the trip — or perhaps recognise themselves from the picture?
