now known as Salvation Army Chapel

Ladies cleaning after renovations?

The lady on the left is Ann HUDSON (1905-1992), who married Alfred BRAILSFORD in 1931.

Many thanks to Vanessa Clarke, who also has this photo in her private collection, for the following information...
Fourth from left, on knees in white skirt:
Elizabeth (Lizzy) HOOPER (1895-1947) married George BARTON & had issue Edna, Alice, George & William (Billy)
She may be in her 40s in this photo, so perhaps taken about 1935+
As a matter of interest, her sister's husband Jim PALFREYMAN was very involved with the Chapel,
and his father's name is on one of the bricks on the outside wall.

The lady kneeling on the right is probably also a family member based on this photograph of a young woman with two young children whom I believe to be the same lady. This family is, however, as yet unidentified.

Photographer: A Heath, Clay Cross
Note however, that A HEATH's professional photography began 1904, and he died 1917 after nearly two years of active service overseas! Perhaps he had a son continue the business in his name?
