This photo shows a group of workers near the Yardley Cemetery Gate. I believe my first wife's Grandfather is one of them. Probably one of those with a big moustache from photo's I saw of him.

Hi Suze...I am Kay...wife of the late Jim Snead. Sadley the whole Snead family who lived in Mansfield Road all died, my husband was 48 when he died followed shortly after by his sister Michelene, the last was their mothr Edna who lived in Mansfield Road until her death aged 92. My brothrr Micheaal still trades under the Snead and Knibbs nme from Water Orton.How strange is that ! I was only thinking the other day,like you do...I wonder what happened to...?
I used to live in the same road as the Snead family. They had a car! In the 50's that was fantastic. Are they still there,along the road on the way to the Swan (forgot its name)
Hi Suze..I remember Povey.....even Clive Povey the son died young leaving a young wife and family. I think you are right Micky would have been 69. Nice to hear from you...from Kay Snead .Hello...I'm so sorry to hear of the early deaths of your family . Mickey was my friend so we were probably the same age...I'm 69 now and still working
We had lots of innocent fun....outside...on the canal banks...at the back of Poveys wood yard...I think it's built on now
Hi Kay. You may not remember me, although I hope you do(Ron from Graham road), good friends with Jim for a few years, we had a few drinks together in the old days (Tavern in the Town). I am so sorry to hear about him passing at such a young age, so sad. I posted a memory on FB today about Clive Povey and Jim, happy days. I actually wrote a memoir about Bob Dylan during lockdown and it was Jim that introduced me to him, must be about 1966. I remember meeting him at the IOW festival in 1969, when Dylan was on. Hope you are okHi Suze..I remember Povey.....even Clive Povey the son died young leaving a young wife and family. I think you are right Micky would have been 69.
