'The photo you refer to in your second email is the last one here, it must have been taken in the 1930s. I am guessing it was to celebrate the coronation of George 6th, the present Queens Father in 1936. If you look closely it is all the estate children waving Union Jack Flags. I think Mr & Mrs Meggett are at the front with their backs to us wearing solar topees'.
