Penny Gardner says: The building in the photo ( Coles Dairy) later became the Cecil Cafe ,situated on Cecil Road just down from the Police Station (on the corner of London Road). The girl with the bicycle was Nora Clarke’s grandmother ,late of 22 Essex Road. Thomas Cole, son, second left, ventured out as a private developer and built houses in Manor Road (74) with finance from The Oddfellows Society. At the beginning of each winter the Cole family would take in a regular traveller or tramp and provide him with a meal ,bath and a suit of clothes, before he checked into the workhouse for the cold season. Fred Cole, third left, was a baker and spent WW1 on the Euphrates,in Mesopatania, with the army catering corps. He was very disparaging of the ABC in the Town (Aerated Bread Company) Shoddy stuff ,full of wind.
