Anne Withnall would like to know who these men are.

The picture of the hockey players fell out of a book belonging to a friend.

The only clue is at the back of the photo it states: “Oscar Way, Head Street, Colchester.”

Regrettably, there is no date.

But what makes the issue all the more baffling is that neither Anne, who is 80, nor her friend, 91-year-old Mary Smith, have any connection with Colchester.

They both live in Bournemouth.

The book may have belonged to a family member which might explain something, but the two friends find it so “baffling.”

Anne said: “Mary would love to know any further details that may throw some light on the origin of the picture.”

She added: “I recently had a similar situation and sent a photo to the Bournemouth Echo. They very kindly printed it and I even had contact with one of the men in the photo, which turned out to be a 1960’s local darts team which my father and brother played for.”

Anyone who can identify the people in the picture is asked to email Anne on anne.withnall@tesco.net
