Seeing the photograph of the Hockley Messengers in the Sunday Express bought lots of happy memories of those days - I (John Cross) am situated on the back row second from the right.

I hope that by printing this picture in a nationwide paper some of the ex messengers in the picture may get in touch. It would be great to hear from anyone.

I think that the Messenger Boys site is a great idea and Roger Green needs to be commended for his work on setting this up.

Hi Roger,

I was looking at the Birmingham Evening Mail to-night Tuesday (6th November 2007) and came across your item about all us ex messenger boys.
My name is Roy Farley and I was a messenger from 1952 until 1955. From 1953 I was at Hockley DO and the picture you showed in the item I'm sure was a photo taken by a Les Lancaster, (the lank) in the Post Office yard at Hockley. I know nearly all of the messengers in the photo, is there any way you could send me a copy of the picture?.

I understand there have been some re-union get togethers unfortunately I have missed them.

Nice to know there are some of us still out there.
Yours

Roy Farley
