Young Eileen in the garden at Chapel Lane



A selection of pictures of Eileen Bailey taken in the back garden at Chapel Lane, Nether Broughton. This was where Eileen grew up. We used to visit there to see "granny Bailey" in the early 1950s before she moved in with us at Basildon Road. I seem to remember there were no fences between all the back gardens.

You will notice that many of the pictures from Eileen's album have been trimmed down - often none to neatly - so it has been a bit of a challenge to line them up properly for scanning. Also, a number of pictures have white streaks. These appear in the same place where I have more than one print of the same picture. I presume the camera was not completely light-tight.
