More of Ruardean

Another picture of Ruardean faces of the 1950s at a gathering for you to recognize. Together with a tribute to Jim Whittington the last Lord Mayor of Ruardean.

In the tibute to Jim Whittington is the answer to Sylvia's query that the tradition was that the talest man in the village should be the Lord Mayor. Well, the rules were somewhat changed in that it was agreed that the mayor, on this occasion should be the talest man in the village - lying down! Jim's vital statistics around his stomach easily made him number one for the job.
