Poundswick Staff list This list started with all the staff names I could remember from the period 1956 to 1965 in approximately chronological order; I managed about 30. Since then many names have been contributed by others but the list is still not complete and many of the dates are guesstimates. Can you help to fill in the gaps and improve precision on dates? We're very short of photographs of staff from the later years; if you've got any, they would be particularly welcome! Click here to see photographs of staff whose names are in this colour. |
