The Windsor Avenue Gang
by Lib Dem team on 17 January, 2010
This year we’re celebrating 80 years of Scouting in Gatley – we’d love anyone who was in Gatley Cubs or Scouts in years gone by to get in touch.
To kick things off, I’ve received this wonderful photo of bob-a-job in 1949.
This was sent to me by Bill Mansell, then patrol leader of Peewit Patrol.
In the photo (as best as Bill’s memory serves) are:
Mr Mottram who owned the shoe shop outside which the photo was taken.
Colin Wyatt, doing the polishing and being closely watched by Peter Renshaw (without hat) and Derek Harris.
The group of three at the back are, from left to right, P.Barratt, D.Franks(?) and D.Chandley.
Colin, Peter and Bill were friends from childhood having been born and brought up in Windsor Avenue, Gatley. Two others made up the Windsor Avenue Gang, but the did not join Scouts.
If you know (or are!) any of the people in this photo, do let us know.

I was a member of 1st Gatley Cubs from aproximatly 1939 to 44 and moved on to the Scout Troop in Peewit Patrol. At the time I lived on The Green and so was not in the Windsor Gang but I remember Derek Chandley and the others (but time and memory loading blunts many earlier details).
