Here is Mother McGuinn doing the crowning duty of a new Queen. I'm Guessing that it is to celebrate the coronation of our queen Elizabeth.
Enid Jolley is to the left of the new Queen, Olive, her sister, to the right. I'm hidden just behind them, aged three.

John, The lad in the doorway at the back, is it Derek Roberts he was in my class at school
Thanks, Ken, I'm guessing he is the brother of Brenda in the wedding veil who is named by Enid in the pram photo?

Yes. That's my dad at the back Derek Roberts and Brenda was his sister. My dad sadly died in 2016. He use to say living down Edge Green Street where the best days of his life. He also use to tell me about Mother McGuinns shop..
