Title: Old photo taken in Chipping Sodbury - info sought
Post by: familydar on Wednesday 05 February 25 20:12 GMT (UK)
This was on this evening's local news, information sought on what the occasion pictured might be.  Also, can anyone identify the people or location for the other photo?

Could well be a celebrity visiting, they have what looks like a news reel camera set up on the other side of the road.

I probably shouldn't have posted this in this particular board because it got held up in moderation and in the meantime the mystery was solved.  Quadruplets born in 1948.  So I'll mark as completed.
