... I agree with you Linda that they seem to be on quite a high wall, the roofline of the house next door is only just showing over the fence.

... Great pic Wiggy, my mum was the middle girl of 5 in the same era and we have no family pics like this at all sadly but it makes me think of them ... 5 girls in 7 years ...

I think they're sitting on some sort of upholstered bench, like a long piano stool.  Can you see the leg at the right hand side?

What a lovely photo, Wiggy!

I don't know about the piano stool or upholstered bench.

They look just like five stairsteps to me!   ;) :D ;D

Great work folks - she's so clever that little one - what balance! 

It is interesting because either that fence behind them is low or the photographer was looking slightly up - to me, what they are sitting on looks quite high.   I have puzzled over this photo for years and still come to no definite conclusion.   I can't see the 'leg' of a piano stool - just the edge of some box, or step or wall or . . .   - but I have been known to be wrong - orfen!!

Linda, they did grow up to be happy and healthy - and as round as their baby photos at the other end of their lives! ;)       A piano stool for a piece for 'six hands' (adult I mean)!  ;D
