Dail Whiting kindly sent the below photo asking if I recognised the house as New Cottages on Bow Road as it is a photo of her Grandfather, Grandmother and five of their youngest children taken around 1917.
This was a very interesting photo and question as I lived in the house next door (the front door partially shown on the right of the picture) between 1953 when I was born to 1960 when my Grandfather died and we had to move out as it was a tied cottage owned by the brewery.
The below photo is of me and my Grandfather outside the same house in 1958. The house was then occupied by Jim & Glad Smith and their two sons Roger and Peter.
