BLACKPOOL'S Tower Circus was where these youngsters were headed when they posed for their picture in 1950.

They were all residents of the Harris Orphanage in Garstang Road, Preston - many of them originally from East Lancashire, says Brenda Challioner, of Blackburn, who is helping to organise a reunion on May 31 of those in the photograph.

"I am still looking for some of them, especially members of the Tattersall, Taylor, Unsworth and Lucas families. As many children came from this area of Lancashire, I hope the photograph will jog some memories in time for them to join the reunion," Brenda adds.
