I have just tripped across your site by accident as I was looking forarchive docks photos. I have been given a copy of a picture of the Docks' supervisors at their annual dinner in the Langland Court Hotel in November 1964. It’s only a photocopy but I have done my best to take a photo of it, and have attached it for inclusion in your website. Hope it comes in useful.

Best wishes - Vicki

The man in the back row on the left, the only one wearing a dickie bow, is R F Morris (Frankie). Not sure who the next two men are but then you have Bill Morris, his brother. In the middle row, second from left was Macavoy(?), then next to him Robinson the ‘bossman’, possibly Peter? Not sure who next chap is, but the next one is Derek Morris. Sitting down is Peter Jones on left, and Jimmy Price(?). I hope this helps jog a few memories. The copy of the photo was recently given to my mother by Peter Jones.
