WHO’S WHO: Charlbury school dinner ladies – back row, left to right, Mrs Wiggins, Miss Franklin, Mrs Hall, Mrs Currie, ?, Mrs Godden, Mrs Bradley Front row: Mrs Akers, Mrs Fowler, Mrs Thornton, Mrs Eeles, Mrs Hutt
I CAN add a little more to Derek Fowler’s letter, identifying most of the dinner ladies at Charlbury School in Terry Pratley’s picture (Memory Lane, October 28).
The picture was taken at Charlbury British Legion flower show in the grounds of Lee Place, Charlbury, owned at that time by Mr Morris, a coal mine owner.
Mr Morris often rode around Charlbury on a large white horse.
The date of the photograph was approximately 1954. One of the dinner ladies, Mrs Thornton, was my late mother.
