What a great photo and a striking couple - your dad looks like a Hollywood film star and your mum a typical fifties beauty.They look as though they are having a good time. I think the holiday camp has now sadly closed.

Hi Janet,
Seeing this marvelous photo reminded me that we as a family went to Middleton Towers holiday camp in about 1953. I have a photo of us there somewhere, which I will dig out and put on.

Hi Janet, Looking at the photo sends me back to Leyland green rd,Just as i remember them,

Thank you all for your comments. I still miss them both so much. Downall Green / Leyland Green rd was a great place to grow up in, wasn't it?..

Pat, Thank you for asking, Kenneth is well. Who shall I say is asking about him?

Roy, Thank you for the nice things you say about my Dad, it means a lot to his family.. God Bless to you too..

Awww Janet what a treasure of a picture this is, and reminds us 'owd DownallGreeners' of what a lovely couple your Mum & Dad were.
