The gentleman talking to the policeman in the photograph is my father Geoffrey Matthews. He told me, that he was asking the bobby what had happened? The policeman said, "a little girl had had a serious accident there". She sadly lost a leg! The girl eventually grew up, and ran a shop on Ellison Street. Her name was Joan Lawley!
