The photo below is of what is thought to be a Humphries Film Labs outing.
  The date is not known and the only person I have a name for is Bob Skipper
 who was Dispatch Manager at the time of the lab closing.  Bob is the sixth
 from the left on the second row from the top.  A more recent picture is below
 the other picture. 
Any information would be appreciated.
