| Maypole 1953 Tony Dolphin writes:
"The little lad sitting at the
front in the middle (ish) of your second maypole photo is me, aged seven (if
the photo was indeed taken in 1953, although I look younger than that.
Fortunately, I still look young for my age!).
My job, together with a couple of others with two left feet who were useless
at dancing, was to sit on the base of the pole to stop it rocking. Since I
was such a titch for my age I don't think I helped much."
