It is thought that this photo was taken on the occasion of Mrs W Harding's 80th birthday.

Mrs Harding (No32) and family lived in Hambrook House on the corner of The Stream, opposite the old Turner's Bakery, and they farmed the land between what is now the Ring Road and Hambrook Lane. The old Spire of the St Michael's Church in Winterbourne still stands in the garden, on top of what is generally thought to have been an Ice House. The spire was rebuilt here after the church was struck by lightning.

Mrs Harding (No32) was always known at the church as Mrs Willi Harding to differentiate between her and Mrs Fred Harding (No28) of Maule's Nursery. It is thought that they were not related, although both families were Market Gardeners.

Mrs Gifford (No30), was the widow of another Market Gardener, working at the holding just North of Winterbourne Church.

Mr Smith (No19), known locally as Sgt Smith, was a retired police officer, and father of Charles Smith, a very well known and respected potter in the Fishponds area.

Mr Jack Miles (No1) was for some years bandmaster of the Hambrook Silver Band
