A few of your blogger, his sister and mum at granny Bailey's. We are quite young here so I would put the year at around 1954. The older children are the Beekens, who were granny's neighbours in Chapel Lane. The younger boy with fair hair is Barry; his brother is Terence and sister Patricia. I know they had a henhouse - that might be it in the background. There is also evidence of allotments. Grandad Bailey used to grow runner beans and you can see the poles.
We are older here so this must be a later visit. Pauline is becoming more mobile and is wearing reins. So I guess it is around 1955. This must have been one of our last visits, as granny moved down to join us in Abbey Wood in 1956. You can just about make out a figure in the shadows in the background to the left of the picture. This might be Mr Parker, who was another neighbour.
