Ushaw Moor Church Boy's Brigade with Ronnie Allinson wearing collar and tie. Apparently Mr Allinson ran the brigade for many years.

Can anyone identify any members of the brigade ?

This photograph came to me by way of a distant relative Ray Wilkinson who I am sure will be on the photographs somewhere.

Cheers Peter Clarke

Had some requests about the Ushaw Moor Coliery Banner.

Wondered if anyone knew of it's location ?

Is there any plans of trying to restore it ?

Wonder what sort of state it's in.

Some Christmas Quotes :
I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.  ~Charles Dickens

Some people find Christmas cards a chore but I don’t. They are an opportunity to say hello and best wishes, or some similar sincere message. Colourful cards can brighten up many a living room during the dark days before Christmas. ~Wilf Bell http://is.gd/YOjY72

Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.  ~Laura Ingalls Wilder

Oh, for the good old days when people would stop Christmas shopping when they ran out of money.  ~Author Unknown

Merry Christmas  and A Happy New Year ~ Paul Clough
