People - Some faces that I knew.

 

Reproduced here are photos of just a few of those

with whom I worked during my time at Torridge Vale.

I'll be adding names where I can later...............

Some I do not know, either before or after my time.

Perhaps the visitor here may recognise friends and 

workmates and, perhaps, be able to place a name 

where I cannot.

Don't forget, you can leave your comments in the box below.

If you "follow" on any page you will be alerted when I update or add to the Blog.

Thanks.
