"A photo of myself and my brother taken around 1956 when we lived in Gordon Street. I'm not sure who the other children
are but possibly some of them are Harpers. I am the blond child at the back with one hair ribbon and my brother Michael is
the boy looking back towards me."
Update from Brenda Whitaker: "In front on the left with the tennis racket is Eileen Harper (Hobson) - Cathleen Harper (Morris) is next to her. I think the girl behind Eileen is Lorraine Watson. I'm surprised David Harper wasn't there as he and Michael were good mates. I rather think the photo will be on the steps to number 3 King Edward St, (our house) it would make sense as the bottom one was the home of Alec Thompson, of coal, coach and taxi services. I wonder if the remaining name is Shirley Towers who lived a couple of doors further up, however she was usually with her brother Michael." Update from Margarete Parker: "I think the boy in the middle on the back row may be Graeme Watson the brother of Lorraine Watson as I used to go to school with both of them." Update April 2014 from Jean McClennon (was Bailey) ![]() Here is another photo taken around the same time. |
