Annie was a crown green bowler, this looks like it was taken on the bowling green after a competition.

My mum was Mrs Margaret Morris. The lady on the back row with name unknown was my aunt Iris Hampson (married to my uncle James Hampson) my mums brother. I think the lady on front row on right was called Mrs Biston and not Nixon.

The lady on the front row holding a vase is my mother, Cissie Clayton and not Mrs. Hesketh. The lady on the other end of the row is Mrs. Bishton and not Mrs. Nixon. Lovely photo.
