WE asked last week in All Our Yesterdays if anyone knew anything about the picture of Christ Church Woodhouse men’s choir.

The photo was taken in 1949 on Bridlington seafront, opposite the Spa.

Alan and Elaine Danielson, who are on the picture, provided a more than adequate answer.

The singers, their families and supporters, are back row (from left) Eric French, Margaret Sykes, Jack the Ivy Coaches driver, Leslie French, Barrie Graham, Harry Hinchliffe, Albert Lee, choirmaster Fred Hardcastle and Joe George; middle row (from left) Alan Danielson, Elaine Chadwick, Kenneth Anderson, Norman Radcliffe, Mrs Radcliffe, Mrs Hinchliffe, Blanche Walker, Gwyneth Theaker, Henry Walker, Edith Lee, Mrs Hardcastle, organist Arnold Theaker and Mrs Graham; front row (from left) Selwyn Radcliffe, Kenneth Briggs, Freda Ackroyd, Malcolm Mitton, Dorothy Shaw, Joan Briggs, Derek Briggs, Kenneth Waller, Geoffrey Hoyle, Mrs Crowther, churchwarden Frank Crowther and Pat Graham. Just one name is missing.

Kenneth Briggs married Freda Ackroyd, Alan Danielson married Elaine Chadwick and Malcolm Mitton married Dorothy Shaw.

Malcolm and Dorothy emigrated to Canada – and Malcolm went on to sing on Canadian radio.

Kenneth and Freda moved to London. He was a bookbinder who later worked at the British Museum. Freda joined the police where she trained to deal with cases of child abuse.

They emigrated to Australia in 1975 where Freda became a world authority on child care and protection. This year she was given the honour of Senior Australian of the Year.

But perhaps the best known choir member was the man in the white sweater on the front row.

“Besides being an excellent pianist and accompanist for our youth choir, Kenneth Waller became a stage,TV and film actor,” said Elaine.

He played Shakespearean roles across the world, but his most famous roles in the UK were as Grandad in the TV series Bread and old Mr Grace in Are You Being Served.

“We went to a different venue every year,” Elaine recalls.

“We sang all the way there, stayed for high tea, then sang all the way back!”

Three choristers are still members – remember this is from 1949, 62 years ago – and they are Eric French plus Alan and Elaine.
