Chatting with the neighbours

1940s

"My grandparents (behind the fence) lived in Braddon Street, Addington on a typically large section with fruit trees and a vegetable garden. Here they are captured chatting over the fence to their neighbours, Mr and Mrs Hunt. The mystery is, what is in the bottle?" - Contributor's note
