Somewhere in the seventies, I think, I photographed these two young lads at a school in Hall Green, Up Holland, they had won some type of regional chess championship abd this images was for one of the newspapers of the day.

Think the lad on the left could have the surname Chadwick, and the one on the right could be the Rev. Wolfe, the then UpHolland Vicar's son.

Pic would have been taken at UpHolland St Thomas the Martyr Primary School, on Mill Lane.

This would have been around 1970-71

Yes I do remember Michael Wolfe being the vicar at Up Holland, did a few weddings there in his stewardship, but I've long forgotten the details of this assignment.
