Dear Mr Blower,
We have been looking with great interest at Goldings website. My grandfather Alfred Edwin Welham worked as a Print Minder at Goldings sometime between 1922 and 1926 and lived at The Lodge. We have an old family photograph with the words 'The Lodge Goldings' written on the back but it does not appear the same Lodge as shown in your picture gallery. Do you know if there were more than one Lodge. In some of the family documents his residence is referred to as Hertford Lodge.
In 1991 we had a letter from Barnardos Research Officer telling us that Mr Ron Stackwood, also at some time in charge of the Print Shop, remembered Alfred Welham as his bible class teacher at Christchurch in Hertfordshire in the 30's. Barnardos had no more information on Alfred.
Would you be interested in a copy of our photograph of The Lodge Goldings?

I think I must have the year wrong when the dining hall was painted and all meals were taken in the rec. hut. I'll have to thumb through the Goldonians unless someone remembers the year.

Dave, Saw your message on the guest page. Steve Chamberlin should remember me, also Joe Law.I have a photo of some of the Pelham boys. There is D.Langley, S.Chamberlin, J.Law, P.Law,S.Howard,C.White,R.Mann.P.Mann,R.Hillier,R.Hood,J.Murphy,W.Dunsford, the others are out of focus. I hope this will revive memories for some of the old boys. I also have a photo of Goldings in April 63 when it started snowing in Dec 62. Someone might remember it. Good luck to all.
