BILLYS old BROWNIE SNAPS

A young Mr. Gilmour...note the casual elegance... and stance

Partners in ????. John and Mike Murray...see Murray's wearing the regulation white socks...the Meddy cruise...in Nice 1951

John again...this time with Tommy Smith...and Jimmy Fulham...is it any wonder he was led astray... but after all...they were in Villefranche ... The Britannic cruise in 1952...



.John... and Joe Stanton...they look a little worried ...don't they...I think John was saying ...Don't worry... the bow doesn't look to bad... he was nice like that

John with the lads in Bermuda...can't be Elbow Beach... they seem to be dressed for winter...every one is laughing... got to be those caps...even Harvey Lane thinks their funny...weird sense of humour...

John again...with the great Dom Volante...but as John said...I'll teach him not to steal my girlfriends...on the Meddy cruise ...The Britannic...1952...

The Neutral Corner Bar on 8th Ave....a hangout for most of the boxing fraternity... in the forties...fifties...and sixties...there's young John...with Roland La Starza...Whitey Bimston... Frankie Jacobs...there's one girl in the picture... and wouldn't you know...Johns next to her...



A party somewhere...John...Tony Noonan...Hughie Morgan...and Ricky Jones...John looks the sober one here...

Party time again...did these guys ever work...Phil Pearce...John Cunningham...Harvey Lane...Peter Gardener...Mike Murray... Duncan McCallum... And yours truly...you know... I didn't realize that these guys went out with girls...honest...

Hey get this...there working...I notice John has stayed in the background... but the bloods look happy don't they...

Oh boy...John and Tony Noonan...on their best behaviour...well there's an officer checking the boys out...and one must be on one's best behaviour... under those circumstances... mustn't one...

Looking the part again...1st class you know...

Gala night...looks like John in the background again...mind you... he was always shy...wasn't he

.Some things never change...John as ever... always a smile... always a laugh...you know...he was so laid back at times... I often wondered how he never fell over...

Colins Crowd
Phillips Playmates

Ronny Orchard...Pinky Purcell...Terry McDonough...Colin...Mauritania ...great lads for the "Bronzie" weren't they... and you got very few fat wingers

Colin and Tony Stanton... looks like the Meddy cruise on the "Britannic".


Colin and Tommy Sparrow... first class waiters... so they would have you believe...mmmm

Harry Storrs... Owen Thompson... Colin... as usual... glass in hand...looks like Colin is holding forth again...are you lot listening

Colin ...Johnny Alexander with the cake...Tony Quarless... Knocker White... Sparrow... who else...don't they look smart eh...a crowd like that...they couldn't get in to any trouble could they??? could they!!!

Tony Noonan...Billy Renshaw...Johnny Cunningham...looks as if Colin got lucky... as he got the girl...or the girls got Colin... with that headlock...nice...very nice

Colin... Roy Stannway...Jackie Davis where did they get those bow ties...and were where they...

Colin ...Kenny Smith...Ricky Smithwick... Smithwick Snr...didn't they put coke in funny glass's

Colin and Sid...note the badge fella's...Saloon Steward... at last...I'll make these guys jump....


Colin with Johnny Cuthbert and Hughie McCrann... Did these guys ever work... seems all they did was "Bronzie"...The other two guys must have been better looking...so they cut off there heads....

...Ronnie Orchard... Hughie Mc Cann...Johnny Cuthbert...Terry Noonan...Colin... you see what I mean... about the "Bronzie"...whose the pretty boys then... early Chippendales they were not...

A fishy tale here... I think he nicked them from the Galley... either that...or he was auditioning for the "Pirates of Penzance"... definitely not the "Pirates of the Caribbean."

The trio...Colin...Gerry Rooney...A.N.Other...we will make music...even if you are asleep...so there...

Colin and Les getting the towels for the beach...it's a wonder there not stripped off already..

Tony Noonan... Bobby Granby... Johnny Alexander...Colin...I didn't realize they made hats that big... and aspiring to greater things...do you think...

Colin in luck... now this is a beautiful young lady...how did that one get away...don't tell me... I wasn't going to put this picture in...but...as he is showing such good taste...well...I just had to acknowledge it...

1950...sweet sixteen....at The Gravesend Sea School...a likely crowd...George is on the top row...2nd from the left... bet he can't remember any of the other guys...

A bellboy on the Ascania...but who???

George and a mate ... on the forward deck...Ascania...1950

...Me in Montreal...Mrs Phillips favourite son...

... Some of the lads on the Ascania...don't look to happy do they... the kid with the Brownie has got his eyes shut

All ashore. .Montreal...again the early 50s...no must have been coming back...carrying their shopping

Remember these...young George...19 doesn't look a day over sixteen does he

Benny Whittle and a couple of mates...sharp lads ...sharp...Saxonia early 50s

Tommy Diegier...And a couple of good looking guys...Saxonia 53...or 54... they had a name for hats like that...didn't they...it rhymed with hat to

The Heavy Gang...they can't have been sober wearing hats like that... or looking like that...on the Carinthia 1955...

Now here's two likely lad's...love the white socks...don't you... with those grins... Must have been some pretty girls around...
 


Some Pretty pictures of the Kelly Gang...Redheads going to tell the true story ...Soon



A young Billy Kelly and Tommy McCardle...never been kicked ...kissed... or cuddled...so they would have you believe...

three smart lads...1st class waiters...hmmm... okay...we will take their word for it..

Xmas time...wasn't there a hat for everyone...a motley group of souls... and a merry Xmas to one and all

...What a quartet...Billy... Wally Leather...Joe Taif...and Jackie Beamish...The Market Diner 1955...looks like Billy's won the bet...I don't know how Joan let him mix with drinkers and gamblers... in a bar as well...
