Beautiful photo. So many stories. ❤
Indeed. Thank you, Debby.
Fabulous photo, Hugh. These old photos with family connections are treasures.
They are, Mary. And we need to do all we can to get information of who is on them before it’s too late.
What a great picture! And what an inspiration for a story. 🙂
Feel free to use the photo as a prompt to write something, Diana.
🙂 I love writing to photo prompts.
A great picture!! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome.
Could it be to celebrate the end of WW2 💜
Spot on, Willow. Well done.
Thank you Hugh I have seen similar ones to this before 💜
A beautiful momento 💜
The woman in the top left (wiith her hands in her apron pockets) totally looks like my Grandmother!
Maybe she was a time-traveller, Donna?
I have memories of street parties 💜
Love this Hugh , when does it date from 40s or 50s
An interesting photograph, Hugh.
Thank you, Robbie.
A family reunion of sorts with a BIG family, Hugh! I’m sure there was drama!
My grandfather is in the picture, but the rest of those people are neighbours, Terri. My father told me that he was sat at the opposite end of the table, so he’s not in the photo. I’m glad the family rediscovered this photo. I was going to use it in this week’s Sunday Stills, but it didn’t make the cut. Wordless Wednesday seemed like the perfect place to show it off.
But how nice so many people gathered for the event. That just dosen’t happen anymore in our sadly siloed neighborhoods.
It is rare now, probably because of the lack of society. Even the royal wedding a few years ago attracted far fewer street parties than when the Queen had her Silver and Golden Jubilees. I remember those parties well.
Love this photo. So many stories layered into this image! laura
Thanks, Laura. I agree. I’m sure every one of the people (including my grandfather, who is the photo) will have had a story to tell of that day. I wish I could have been there.
It looks like a lovely day and a fun gathering. I’m guessing it was a wedding reception.
Not a wedding reception, but it was a fun day for everyone, that day, Priscilla.
It must have been a wedding or some special occasion for everyone to be dressed so nice for an outside party. Wonder what they had to eat…
Sandwiches, homemade cakes, jelly and cream, were all on the menu. There were also some vegetable pies and lots of lemonade and tea.
Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, Hugh?
Afraid not, Chris. I’d like to have been at that celebration, though.
What a fantastic photo! When was it from? A proper street party!
I took it yesterday when on my latest time-travelling trip, Ritu.
Perfect!
A fabulous photo Hugh!
Thank you, Sam. It’s a photo I had leftover from this week’s Sunday Stills post. I thought Wordless Wednesday would be a great day to use it.
