Glenice wrote (June 2007): "Band of Hope I believe a colliery silver band. The young cornet player in the middle row is Graham Watkins - I believe he was a relative of the Ellways roughly the same age as my brothers, as my uncle Ivor Ellway in the back row 6th from the right emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1930".

Thanks also to Graham Ward for help with the names.
