 Janet, above; she had blond highights put in her her at a hairdressing salon in Markhouse Road, Walthamstow, round the corner to the left coming down Queen's Road past the park. Janet and the Wingfield Music Club, which later became a Trust, featured in the Sunday Break programme in the early 1960s. Herbert Lyon was always getting us noticed by the world to encourage the disabled to work towards a better life.

 

Below are more pictures.

Janet and Gina in Janet's garden at 25 Richmond Road, Gina is on the right.  Shame the council compulsory purchased the houses in our area; Richmond Road, Lennnox Road, Gordon Road Longfellow Road, but not Queen's Road where the houses are still standing. I had to make new friend on moving to Uplands Road, Woodford Bridge, Essex. My father had to start decorating and renovating a house all over again! Poor dad. The council built some awful looking concrete 'rabit hatches' on the site of Richmond Road, calling it Richmond Crescent!  Then I was told by a little girl, Stacey, who used to live in one of the concrete looking houses opposite the allotments, that these houses were pulled down and flats built. Why could they not have kept our houses, and updated the ones that needed renovating.  Our houses were practical having a front room and stairs dividing the house in two to the bedrooms. My poor father had had a bathroom put in and renovated the house to a very high standard. Below is me in my front room where I spent many happy hours practising an writing music to the chagrin of Mrs Rynge next door!. I also had lessons with Lesley Barnes in this room and entertained my friends. Wish the council had left us alone, then my story might have ben happier. Bert Lyon told my parents to stay and hold out against the council: he did to keep his house in Belvue Road, Leyton, and those houses are still standing to this day.
