Keith, I recognize quite a few ladies but can't remember their names, however I'll try with some. On the nearside the lady third behind the one in the dark costume is Mrs. Ratcliffe from Poplar Ave. On the same side the lady behind the one with the little boy is Mrs. Haselden from Lilac Ave. On the far side the lady third inline is Mrs. Welch from Rectory Rd. and I think the lady behind her is Mrs Hill from the bottom of Rectory Rd.

Lyndon, the little boy is me with my mum, Auntie Ethel Haselden behind from Palm Avenue.
Nearside, the lady behind the one in black coat is Mrs. Halliwell, then Mrs. Fox, next unknown, then after mum and auntie are Mrs. Gee wheeling pram, Mrs. Lowe behind.
Across the road, 3rd back Mrs. Welch followed by Mrs. Holden.

Eric, thanks for the corrections. It's strange but I was sure Anne Haselden lived in Lilac Ave near Barbara Crook, must be old age. I didn't know you and Anne are cousins either. I had a feeling it is you with your mum but can't see your face for the car wing mirror. See you on the 8th. May, all being well.
