It’s interesting that you thought the lady you refer to is your grandmother, sorry to disappoint you though but I’m afraid that it’s definitely my nan! This photo has been in my family’s possession since it was taken, and there’s no doubt that it is my nan, Flo Beazley, with our next door neighbour, Flo Wheeler, sitting next to her.

You mention that your gran lived next to the Globe pub in Locksley Street – the photo is actually of the ladies’ beano from the Globe pub in Hartley Street, Bethnal Green (corner of Hartley Street and Brierly Street, long since demolished).

If there is such a strong resemblance to your gran, I wonder if there might be a family connection. My nan’s maiden name was Miller, and her mother’s maiden name was Chadwick. The Millers were originally from Whitechapel, the Chadwicks were from Bethnal Green. Let me know if either of these family names are familiar to you!
