You are talking about my great uncle Dick. His son was called Francis. They lived in either Studland Road or Lulworth Road.
Uncle Dick worked as a driver of Corporation buses and later became an Inspector. He had a Ford Popular from the 1940's and paid £100 for it brand new. When my gran took us to visit, while the adults continued boring adult talk and drunk gallons of tea, we escaped into the garage and "drove" that car.
I have a family photo group of my parents wedding in 1938 and Uncle Dick, Aunt Milly, Francis, both sets of my grandparents, some aunts I recognise and lots of people I don't.
The photo was taken 5 years before I was born and some of those people didn't survive WW2. There are 21 people in the photograph, I can identify 10 of them.
Billy Monk was an on course bookmaker and after his death during the war his wife, Maggie, was an agent for an illegal bookmaker in Lea Road.
Small world.
