Coronation Day Street Party
2nd June 1953

About this memory
This photograph was taken by my late father William Croal, who’s hobby was photography, in and around the old town. This copy isn’t the best quality unfortunately. Dad also developed all his own pictures in our tiny room and kitchen. Our family of 7 lived in no. 6 Heriot Mount.
