Sadly I can’t remember the day. My dad is the smart man standing to the left of the impromptu flag pole. I am the little girl at the very bottom of the photograph.

I loved at 1 Porlock Road from when I was about 5 till I was about 10. Many happy memories there. Is that photo taken from the other side of the road? If so that was our house in the background. Unfortunately I lived there later than 1953. I was born in 1957.
