WORK & PLAY 1 - FUN TIMES

(Above) A banjo, a concertina, a melodeon and 19 happy individuals. This is believed to have been taken at Great Yarmouth. Note how many have cigarettes or pipes in their mouths. The man 3rd from left (with the cigarette) is Arthur Sands, and the tall man with the accordian is Albert "Brunny" Wagg and the man with the cap to the right of him is believed to be Ted Cox. Arty Grimes is 5th from the right and George "Dribbler" Wagg is next to him (4th from right).  

(Below) "F" for Flitcham: an annual sports event at Houghton Hall in the early 1950s. Joan Benefer leads the line and helps Peter Farrow to hold the Flitcham standard. The next boy might be Gerald Clark, followed by Colin Corley and Ray Matthews. The little girl leading the other girls is believed to be Rita Barlow, followed by Anne Barker. The next two are unidentified but the girl third from the right is June Whitmore. Note the boys' socks - we called them "Long Tops".
