I received this photograph from David Blanchard, his mother, Irene Blanchard(nee
Hutchinson) is the girl(born 1912) in the white blouse directly behind the boy with the
board. She worked as a postwoman in the 1950's in Wheatley Hill, his father, John Blanchard
came to Wheatley Hill in the 1930's and worked as a butcher in the Co-op
in the 1950's. Girl with the checked dress second from right in
second row from front is Edith Bradshaw. ( From Bernadine Smith, Edith's
daughter)
If anyone
can throw any more light on the identity of the unknown children in the photograph please
contact myself or a member of The
History Club or even contact David at blanch@waitrose.com
