Memories of The Lock c1955, Teddington
Mr E Sewell
The gentleman fishing in the foreground is the late Mr Eric Sewell. He was a very keen fisherman and lived with his sister in a mansion flat in Twickenham Road overlooking Tough's boatyard. He was a very nice quiet man who always when he was out of doors wore a trilby hat and a light fawn coat whatever he was doing. I knew him for a long time and in the later years of his life he lost most of his sight. As he could no longer fish I bought from him his little motor boat 'Rita' which I still have. He had a license from the Thames Conservancy to fish from land owned by them.

LIVING IN TEDDINGTON
It's nice to see this old photo of Teddington where I lived, in Church Road, no 38.
Teddington-Hometown
Born in Teddington in 1945. Lived in Clarence Road until 1958, then moved to the "Con Club" in Stanley Road. My brother and I were both in St. Albans Choir along with another pair of brothers, Ian and Cliff Williams, who both now live in Australia. My brother and I live in the USA, Colin in Dallas, Texas and me in Indianapolis, Indiana. Remember Father Simmons and choir master, Norris Marshall. A grand building.
