Yet another Jelly Sunday Photo, this shows my brother Brent I think around 1957/8(?) taken very soon after the walk had started. This is just in Elm Ave with the Blue Bell in the background. Notice how many people watched, they came from all over to see this walking day. What a total difference to todays Trinity Sunday.

Looking at Janice's recent photo in Booths Brow Road it looks like our two photos could have been taken on the same day, I just noticed Bob Frodsham in the same place on this photo as the other.

Mark, I remember our Brent playing footy with your Francis (wasn't it?) Sadly Joan passed away 9 years ago and is still so sadly missed.
