Yes - I agree, Mary Wesley.

I think Pictures 3 may be Hunter Davies

[michealk]

or could it be Harold Wainwright?

Hunter Davies published work called A Walk Around the Lakes so feel it is more likely to be him.

could picture 6 be colin dexter? i can only find pictures of him when older but they look very similar in the face.

[captainandy]

Picture 6 is almost certainly John Sutherland.
