The young man on the bicycle, in the background is Donald Ross of Embo post Office, probably waiting to pick up mail or parcels from the train, I remember Donald had a huge barrow with two cart like wheels, which he would take up to collect parcels for the shop.

The man on the left looking at the camera is Dave Brownjohn, friend of Billy MacKay, Les & Jenny (nee Watt) Taylor, who took and sent in the photo, and a life long friend of my dad Kenneth Ross (photo 9168), and the rest of our family.
Dave also appears in photos 9172, (2nd from left) & 9169 (waving from train). He was a regular visitor to Embo.
I was bridesmaid to Billy & Jo, when they married in approx 1967
It is possibly Jenny Watt with her back to the camera.
My dad Kenneth Ross was best man at Les & Jenny's wedding.
