More lovely photos from Colin Brotherwood taken at Home Farm in the 1950's.
Thank's Colin for sharing the following.

The first is of my mother Jean Brotherwood (nee Watson) holding my younger brother Stephen. He was born in late September 1956. So that gives an approximate date. Wearing a lovely spotty dress and a nice pair of shoes, she has definitely not come back to Home Farm to pick hops.
The old Ford van was green, so my dad Lionel told me when he was alive. In the picture you can see the back gates to Wateringbury club. I imagine this is where the club had lorry deliveries of beer. As a child visiting Home Farm with mum and dad I can remember seeing loads of different coloured beer caps in the dirt where those gates are.
The second photo is of myself sitting on the headlight of the same Ford van EPM654, with my mother Jean Brotherwood. That van would be worth a fortune today. Taken around 1956 -57 I would say. You can see Home Farm horse stables in the background.
