This reminds me of a scene from the film "A Taste of Honey". Lovely, nostalgic photo.

More memories Anne, think that's Sheila Fairclough in the background. Thanks for the photos.

Yes, that definitely looks like Sheila Fairclough in the background, I know they were always best mates.

Was this lady any relation to Frank Butler who lived in the Chapel Lane area?

I knew Frank very well, also I know his three sons and daughter very well. I still see his wife, Jean now and again.
