Very good indeed.

And is some of the fence still there and that building in the hazy distance.

Many thanks everybody, especially ShaunJ - the Strand indeed! I knew it was probably somewhere near Charing Cross but couldn't work out exactly where.

I've noticed before, Shaun is razor sharp. About 1960 I think. The car looks like a Hillman Minx. Looks like the stone pillars in front of the station are still there.

E Whistler disappears from the phone books after 1955 so that seems a likely date for this photo.

Hi All

Shaun, that was great result  ;) Read this earlier. Can now see the front of Charing X from that front and pillars, in style,  even today.

This photo is near same as ShawnJ's photo link, but shows the large rail fence posts more clear.

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth
