SOMEONE'S BIRTHDAY PARTY?

Eleven well-scrubbed kids in the early 1950s

By Doug Hall

This must have been someone's Birthday party given how clean and tidy we all are! Although it's unlikely to have been mine, given our summer clothes - I was born in November. I'm certain the photo was taken in the early 1950s when I lived in Lawes Avenue. So it's likely to have been in one of the gardens backing onto the alley that ran behind the even side of Lawes Avenue and wishboned down behind Brighton Road between Murray Avenue and Harper's Road, where my life centred during those days. I'm second from the right in the front row, and I'm sure that Roger Stewert is far left in the front row. Does anyone recognise any of the others?
