There looks to be a few familiar faces here. Mind you, all old school photographs can be deceptive. I wonder if Mr. James (Jimmy) Sollitt can furnish us with any more information, especially as to the date. Is this a picture taken of the those who had collected the most jam-jars in a given period. Jam-jars were collected during the war, and as far as I can recall, the practice carried on into the post-war years. Each jar had to have the Ministry of Food logo (M.o.F.) cast into the bottom, otherwise they were unacceptable. The more I look at this image, the more surnames such as, Atkinson, Dearlove, Batty, Lumb, Cook, Dinsdale, Craddock, Robinson spring to mind. Am I correct, or it it just wishful thinking.

further to Graham's comment,re jam jars.I remember collecting waste newspaper for money.We took them to a place down dewsbury Rd and we would wet some of the ones in the middle of the bundle,(out of sight) to make them weigh more. I also have a very vague memory of the jam jars,but paper was easier.
