About this memory

Elizabeth Mobbs.

“The garden behind houses at my aunt’s. This picture was most likely to have been taken not long after my Grandfather Gillies died. [My mother] and Aunt Mary were closer together at that time. Grandfather had passed away in the then hospital, Queensberry House.” – Evelyn Muir (née Mobbs)
