mike i am sure thats true but these two pics are taken in the same location...note the two air bricks to the left of the small window in both photos..word must have got around in pic 2
guessed that mike...i was just pointing that out so that we can put these two photos together if we ever find out the location..we have 11 children in the 2nd photo i just wished one of them would come forward early days yet but fingers crossed
The 'torch' has been passed to the boy between the girls. I think the boy standing alone on the window sill is a bit of a toughie.
I like the way the boys have their jeans turned up. Possibly older brothers jeans and/or a fashion statement. I remember skinheads and teddy boys used to do that. Viv.
yes viv he does bless him...and the lad sitting on the window sill has such a cheeky grin...bit more serious looking in photo 2 though...brill photos and gut feeling is steering me towards the ladywood area for these 2 pics...probably miles out though
When denim jeans first arrived in the UK in the 50's (my first pair anyway) that's the way they were worn. Skin tight and a four inch turn up, I don't think it was until the advent of bell bottoms that the turn up disappeared
