SILVER JUBILEE 1935

In May 1935, for the Silver Jubilee of King George V, the tram and lamp poles in Green Lanes were wrapped with red, white and blue.  It was the same in 1937 for the coronation of George V1.  I now find it had to separate the images of the two occasions.See More

"I have one other connection in that my great-great-grandfather John Newman, carpenter, and family lived in Maynard Street from about 1829 to at least 1835, and perhaps later. He came from Sussex and his wife Ann (Burton) was from Hants."
