    Picture of me taken in 1957/8 at the age of either 2 or 3....some 62 years ago, in my very small back-garden in New Eltham. Had blonde hair then.....and god knows what I'm wearing!! By the age of 5 my hair had gone brown and now it's very grey!

    I Never thought I’d be so envious of seeing all these lovely photos, I thought I would I find it a little upsetting but even @Redmidland made me smile😉 so thank you for sharing,  there absolutely no photos in existence (That I know of) barring the two I shared but I’m sure knowing how fond my mum was of me I’d have been dressed in a bastard of a set up! Lol

    Funnily enough I think it was the hosepipe we used to use to fill up the 'tin bath', which was hung on the outside privy door, until it was carried into the kitchen every Monday evening and the hosepipe was then attached to the hot water geezer above the kitchen sink!!! They were the days!!! LOL

    I'd have said it looks more like the washing line to be honest.

    Could be, but looks a little thick to me. We did hang the hosepipe near the back gate...god knows why!!

    Yeah different times altogether.  I haven't got a picture of me there, but here's a picture of the first house I ever lived in. Literally a shack with a tin roof on Canvey Island. Obviously there'd have been no plumbed-in bath in a place this size, so bath time for me was was in a tin tub on the living room floor. I also have a memory (though perhaps it's a false one through watching too many Steptoe films) of me having a bath on the kitchen sink.

    Are you related to Albert Pierrepoint?

    The camera angle makes it look like you're walking to the noose!

    EDIT: Already observed above I see now!

    Blimey, Jean, you look like you’re about to have a barney with Katrien in that baby photo.

    Venice in about 1967/8 judging by the size of me. Old fella beside me, his fault I'm an addick. 
    Taken by my mother, I absolutely love this picture.

    Completely irrelevant but I never understood why it was so named when it's presumably named after De Luci.

    I’m on the right in this pic with my older brother. Could you get a more 70s photo?

    Fook. My mum used to dress me and my brothers the same. Then years later they have the temerity to ask "why do you and him look so miserable in those photos?".  Dunno maybe it was being dragged up to C&A in Eltham and being kitted out in matching own brand tank tops!

    With my cousin following the traditional post match pitch invasion. It was August 1974, we'd won 4-0 against Peterborough - Curtis, Hunt, Horsfield and Hales - happy days! I'm the blond one on the left being very careful over the barrier!
    Pretty close to where the legendary scoreboard was.
    I  Used to love watching the guy put the halftimes up.....

    Same here with my sister (although when we were very little she used to make a lot of our clothes rather than buy them) and being the youngest I'd end up wearing them twice.
