Do you recognize anyone in this boat?

I certainly recognize the two men in the front but cannot place their names!

I am sure these two are the Benham children who lived in the house behind at the time. Tony Benham owned the Mill Pottery out of picture to the left.

John Gilham said...: Hi Jeremy, Great to hear from you after so many years. If my memory serves me well you moved away from the village in the late sixties. Hope all is good with you. If you have any memories or photos of the village to share with us all we would love to see or read them. Best Regards John; 4 June 2024 at 13:00
