Of all the pictures we have uncovered so far this is by far and way the oldest and an absolutely brilliant find.
The picture was also on display in Holly Close (home of Granny and Grandad Gulliver). On Granny's death in the 1990s Uncle David asked Russell Emm at Ebbesbourne Wake to create copies which were distributed to members of the family.
The row of cottages in the background is still there today.
Details of names for this picture have been supplied by various members of our family.
Back-row: Harold Gulliver (our Grandad), Harry Gulliver (our Great Grandad), Melvin Hardyman, Herbie Stevens
Middle-row: Mr. Hitchings (not sure of first name but believe it is the father of John Hitchings from Broadchalke), John Linnell (he was the organist in the village church and is referenced in Rex Sawyer's book on Collett's Village Newspaper, see earlier blog entry), Jackie Butler (father of Arthur Butler), Bill Case (a JP), Harry Beckley
Front-row: Claude Williamson (a farmer in the village), Gordon Brasher (the scorer and old family from the village), Arthur Butler (used to own Rookhay Farm)
