    A rather grubby photo booth snap of mom and me probably taken in town as we lived in Garrison Lane at the time. Unfortunately I don't have a date but I was born in the summer of 1956 if you can guess my age. You don't see many of those knitted balaclava with shoulders any more.

    It's ok to leave the plaster John. Not that I remember it but apparently I fell down the stairs, still have the scar on my eyebrow!

    Picture re-touch

    A 1960 photo of me and my sister on a window sill in Garrison Lane. I've had several goes at it myself but failed miserably, especially the stitching together the break across my check shirt. Time to hand it over to the experts! All attempts greatly appreciated.
