Taken rear garden of 335 Gathurst Rd Orrell.
The older lady is Mary Melling, believed from Mitchell St Newtown.
Notice the Tomatoes in the greenhouse and Chrysanths in pots outside.

What a pleasure to see (yes, us too....there will always be
a 'Benjamin' Rollins, a law through all the branches)
Pleased as punch to be able to look at those twiglets in that branch. Sat here smiling my head off.

Mary Melling lived in Billinge Road at no 98. Olive lived with her until her marriage to Harry Daly. Mary had a garden to the rear of the house and she grew flowers and vegetables. She also had apple trees there, and a few hens. All the children round about there called her Aunty Mary.
