The Queen, 2 Waterloo Road, Reading - no women in this picture
The Queen, 2 Waterloo Road, Reading - likely to be the 1935 Silver Jubilee
Agnes Froud is seated front right
The Queen, 2 Waterloo Road, Reading - circa 1920s
My grandfather who is seated 4th from right is not a Froud - he was James Matthews. He married their daughter, Dorothy. I think the lad sat at his feet could be my uncle.
