My father with his parents, Cyril and Violet in 193?, captured by a street photographer.
Cyril and Violet (seated) celebrate their golden wedding anniversary at the Old Forge, Hallam, with my grandmother's sisters (l to r) Joan, Ethel and Kathleen, my father and- the gawky one in the middle- me.
There was something a bit godfatherish about Grandpa Cyril. He was a big softie with his family- but you wouldn't have wanted to cross him in a business deal.
