Derek, if your grandad's car is the Austin version of the farina style it is the A60. Other badge engineered versions with the same body shell were the Morris Oxford, Wolseley and (I think) a Riley.

There was the MG Magnette as well, my mate had one, it was two tone cream and blue.

The location looks looks a school field, with possibly a canteen and boilerhouse in the background. I think Ashton Sec Modern was similar to this but many schools were built like that around the same period.

Hi Derek, was your Grandad onetime a committee member at Newtown Workingmens Club? If so i knew him.

Tom, yes he was on the committee at "the workers" in the sixties and seventies. How did you know him Tom?
