It
was not all work for the Miners and the scene here is of the
Official Dance held at Maltby, pictured is the late Harry Carver one
of the founding members of the Gun and Baggin Club at Dalton. His
companion is unknown, and it looks as though Harry has been a
recipient of a presentation on the night as he is holding a Carving
Set. Below is the back of the
photo with the studio address. 
Fred
Spencer kindly sent in this photo and tells us. "This photo relates
to the Queens visit to Silverwood. It shows from left, Billy Frith,
Freddie Powell, a grand lad, I lived next door but one to him at
Sunnyside, we were great schoolboy mates and my uncle Fred Hartle,
sharing a laugh with Prince Phillip"
