Re: Header Photo 'Then & Now'
Sadly Norman, photos were a luxury for a lot of families. I remember my sister telling me when I was going to be baptised , the priest asked her if she was the girl who needed a shawl for the baby. As she was 21 was when I was born and organising my baptism ,( as my dad was on a ship somewhere as it was war time.) The priest must have first thought she was the mother looking for a shawl. I’m pleased to add it was someone with the same surname, no relation to us, but another sad tale of how people struggled in those days.
