George Weedon and his grandson Bernard Lake.The picture is taken in the middle of the meadow behind 28 and 30 Shillington Road. The tall foreground trees on the right are elms, which died from Dutch Elm Disease in the 1970s. The moderately tall trees beyond them are pear trees in the old Wright’s Farm orchard. The bushes just to the left of George’s right elbow are brambles on the corner of the orchard, where the meadow boundary makes a dog-leg and the culvert under the meadow comes out, wrongly marked as a spring on the Ordnance maps.
