Some of my mum’s side of the family. Going from the right, the small boy is Phil my brother standing in front of my mum. Next to my mum is my mum’s sister-in-law Ivy who was married to my uncle Bill. Ivy and Bill had three girls, the one next to her is Gillian, the oddest, below is Sandra the youngest, to the left of Gillian and Sandra is me, then next to me is Linda their other daughter. I don’t know who the man is next to Ivy but the next man along is my Granddad and the tall lady next to him is mum Nanna.

Not sure who these are but the picture was taken in Newbold Heath.
