Hope this is the right place to post this. This is a photo of my Gran, Mary Jane Hughes (nee Beresford) and my Dad in the pram, in 1921 and a photo of a friend took very recently. My great grandfather Henry Wynn Hughes owned the post office at that time.

I don't see a pram? Please tell me I haven't completely over-indulged!


Will check your other post now in case the pram is there :D

I feel better now I have seen this. (please see comment on other picture)

Daisy, would you like me to try and merge the two posts so that they appear as one topic?

The comments made previously may not make a lot of sense. This is because I have merged two topics as the pictures were related.

Doesn't the pram look difficult to push with its very upright handle?

I'm afraid the only thing I have experience of pushing is a shopping trolley!
