She doesn't look to happy. "40 years and all I get is a bloody stainless steel tea set"
I bet that tea set never got used?

Elayne having blown up this photo i would say that it the same Edna Stevenson who i remember from Lamberhead Green school in 1955/6,who is in your other photo.

My last boss gave a 65 year old a skateboard!

Hi Elaine. Your mum, Edna, has her hands on my mum's shoulders. My mum's surname was Byrne. She died 3 years ago and is very much missed. She enjoyed working at Standwear, and if your mum is the Edna I'm thinking of, she and mum later worked together at Peacocks? and then was it your mum who set up a sewing business in Hallgate when Peacocks closed? My mum worked there with her too. She used to refer to them as happy days, and until she died she used to meet "the girls" up town for a coffee most weeks.

At the time of this photo, Standwear was owned by my father (Anthony James Marsden)in the picture on the back on the right and his brother Christopher Marsden. My mother, Daphne Marsden is in the picture, 2nd on the left wearing a black hat as is my young brother Alexander Marsden - the young boy in the font on the left.
