Sandra Graves has provided this photo, which was taken outside The Royal Oak near the old St John's School in Brook Road. The old football ground is in the background.

'Starting from the right, second lady in is Bet Daubney, her and her husband had the greengrocers on the corner of Brook Road and Mafeking Avenue. The family then opened the greengrocers along the High Street' (James Daubney, fruiterers, were at 283 High Street in 1928, 1933 & 1940 trade directories).

Working from right to left: Annie Grant (white shoes), Bill Grant and then Annie's in-laws, Charlotte Grant and then William Grant, with cap and stick.

'Also along the row is Rita Spatman, Mr and Mrs Fennis used to live in Hamilton Road and Harry and Alice Keyes.'

Mrs Pauline Latarche adds 'the lady in the front row in a striped dress holding a white handbag is my Mother-in-Law - Mary Latarche, and her husband - Charles, is in the back row to her left (right looking at the picture) with no cap or hat on.'

If you recognise anyone in the crowd please get in touch.
