Dock, Wharf, Riverside and General Workers' Union banner - this title was the second title of the union. The banner hung in the union offices in Trafford Road, it was taken down when the offices were painted. Rumour has it that it is now in Liverpool, with the `Salford District' title painted out. Left to right: ?, ?, ?, Peter Leonard, (first branch secretary),?, James Murgatroyd, (the first chairman/or President ? of the Pomona branch), Ben Tillett is on the extreme right. It is possibly these three painted on the banner.
