My uncle, Arthur Baines is the gentleman back right. He lived on Hawthorn Avenue and then Birch Grove not long before he died. I lived in Birch Grove until I was 5 as well!

shaun you would,nt be shaun ryan by any chance ? . if so you lived next door to me at number 60 .

Yes I did live at No 60 from 1961 when I was born until 1966 when we moved to Old Road. But it's Regan. Don't worry, it's been a long time! My mum was Eileen Baines and my dad Paddy Regan. They're both resting in Our Lady's with my grandparents now.

Hi, I've just found a video on YouTube that references this photo. It is of a bowls final at the Village Club in July 1990. I can see my Uncle Arthur sitting by the presentation table 2 minutes in. I'll try and link it.
