Oh woe is us. The caption we have for this photo is ‘Gardening Club plant a lime tree at Broadwell’. People aren’t named and there is no date given. But of course, the photo has clues.
Gardening club plant a lime tree at Broadwell
The photo almost shrieks ‘70s’ at us. First of all it is a colour print and they weren’t common prior to the 70s. The two pushchairs in shot are both McLaren Buggies of that era – from a time when push chairs were lightweight and portable.
Easily recognised is Peggy Gye.
The unmistakable Peggy Gye
She certainly looks the right sort of age – about 50 – for this to be the 1970s. We have ideas for the names of others, but nothing is certain so we won’t make suggestions.
Instead we ask for help. Can you name any people here?

This would have been the queens jubilee my son Marc Buckland (in the blue coat ) was the youngest pupil at St Barnaby’s and was selected to plant a tree at broadwell along with the oldest resident of the village (out of shot) Sadly the tree’s have disappeared.

Thanks, John. Certainly I didn’t know that. Do we know who the oldest resident was?
A Happy New Year to you and I look forward to sharinbg more of your knowledge in 2015.
