Coronation Day
Another lovely surprise, to see this photo included in "Album of the Month", the original of which I have. It shows the then 9 year old Jennifer Smith (daughter of Frank and Edith Smith) and the then 5 year old Janet Ambrose (daughter of Fred and Beat Ambrose) on Coronation Day 3 June 1953. Jennifer (who I was to marry 10 years later) is dressed as a Lavender Girl, her dress, which I think was crepe paper dyed lavender, suffered in the heavy rain of that day, the dye running and staining clothing underneath. Submitted by Martin Gorner pp Jennifer Gorner (deceased).

This is a picture of my parents, Lloyd and Margaret Tibbitt. They spent their working lives growing flowers for a living in fields located in Rampton Road and Over road . The picture was taken in Rampton Road in the early 1970s, and shows a field of outdoor stocks.
