Gilpin Grove, Edmonton, 1945: Street party photo 1
Gilpin Grove, Edmonton, 1945
Street party to celebrate the end of WWII
The view is to the east and the background is the wall of the air-raid shelter that was built in the square. A lorry (truck) - possibly one borrowed from the coal-delivery business is being used as a stage.
On the stage are George Burrells at the drums; my mother Ivy (Gladys) Avery at the microphone and Maud Burrells behind the table.
I am sitting in the front row with Cyril Burrells, who is looking after me (the enlargement on the right shows an unidentified boy, then me, then Cyril).
I don’t have names for anyone else in the photo.
Can you add any names? If so, let me know
