Martin Richards (email: martin.richards@bigpond.com) contacted us from his home in Sydney, Australia. Born and brought up at 4 Lodge Avenue (subsequently renamed Roman Way) he describes himself as a CAERLEONITE. He wrote:

"I thought you may be interested in a copy of a photo that hangs on the wall of my home office. It is a carnival float from circa 1955.

I can identify most of the people in the photo since we all came from the Lodge area.

All the faces I remember clearly, just the ravages of time on my memory for recalling names. "

Thanks to Paul Davies, Joan Teague (nee Wollan), David Teague and John Wollan for helping with the names Martin had forgotten.
