My father is the gentleman looking towards the camera, on the left hand side, behind the lady in the light coloured coat. His name is George Allatt Meadows. I remember being around 15 and my father coming home from Cheadle village and saying he had seen people taking photographs. He & my mother, Emily Meadows lived on Oak Road, Cheadle.
