A couple of weeks ago on this blog, a post titled THE GIRLS featured pictures of four young ladies; the pictures were stills extracted from a home movie made in the late 1950s/early ‘60s.

The burning questions were: who are the girls and where are they now? The post raised a lot of interest but none of the four has been identified.

Here are more stills from the same film. In the top strip, left to right, are two other girls at the same event which could have been a Miss Rhyl contest; a boy receptionist at the Westminster Hotel, East Parade, and a young lady on a visit to the Floral Hall.

The centre picture shows a somebody that may well have been May Queen. The final shot shows youngsters and not-so-youngsters enjoying a Punch and Judy show.

So who are they all and where are they now?
