The Cover Photograph
This undated photograph of my parents is taken at the back door of the veranda, built by my Dad at 82 Richmond Road, Hessle. It is probably post-war, so taken in the late 1940s or early 1950s. They look young to my eyes. I never had any recollection of them as middle-aged people. The veranda looks to be in good condition, with the back door seemingly almost new. Perhaps the picture was taken by my brother George and was partly intended to show off the new attachment to their home. I do not recall the wooden trellis in front of Mother but I do remember the wooden frame she is leaning on. It was all painted in ‘grass green’ gloss paint. The real back door to the house is seen behind Dad’s left shoulder and it always stuck when opening or closing it, due to a land mine that exploded in the fields that used to be to the south of Richmond Road, but that was before my time. They both look happy and contented and Mother doesn’t seem to be wearing her piny. Perhaps it was a Sunday when the photo was taken and she was all dressed-up to have her picture taken.10
