Valerie Brownhill writes (Jan. 2005):

“I think the gentleman on the back row left side of the picture (found at the back of the Round of Beef pub) is George, Benjamin or Samuel (my grandfather) HARRIS.

We know they were in a cycling club, and from Cradley, living for a time at Two Gates.

We have a photo (see above) of George and we think maybe Samuel taken with bicycles dressed the same as this picture.

Hope someone will also see picture and start naming names, it is an amazing picture and congratulations to all involved in reproducing it.

My grandfather was Samuel Harris born to John Harris and Adah Golden, but we have never seen photographs of him or his brothers, until l made contact with a second cousin through Genes Reunited, her grandmother was born to George Golden Harris and my Grandfather was his brother Samuel Golden Harris.”

Jill Guest adds (20 Jan. 2005): "the man in front of your Harris ancestor is a Hickman (possibly Alfred), a school teacher who came from a large family of Hickmans who lived in the Park Lane/Row area of Cradley for many years. He appears in several other pictures, and a cousin of his, George Hickman (b. 1862) married Lydia Harris."
