Torrington Estate, Coronation, celebration.<br />
1936. The coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth as King and Queen of the United Kingdom.<br />
'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'.

Tea maker.....Mr Money ....Head Clerk.   A South Indian and a very shrewd operator who constantly spent his spare time playing the share market. I subsequently have a feeling that he must have been a relative of Mr Money a South Indian planter who was an original recipient of rubber seeds that were smuggled out of Brazil in the late 19th century and was given some for trial by Kew Gardens? <br />
