Thanks everyone for your contributions the dates fit my recollection.

I had been given a camera for as a Christmas box but unfortunately did not get a picture of the royal party. I had not perfected the technique of panning the camera to get moving objects.

I do have some snaps taken during the holiday by myself and family We stayed with my Grandmother at Rose Cottage, top of Fetter Hill.

I have a very good snap of my mother collecting the milk from the wall between my Grandmothers home and the road.

I will go through my photo box scan and send to our register if anyone is interested.

My Grandmother left the money for the milk under a stone on the wall. The milkman would sound his horn to announce his arrival and one of the family would negoiate the dog kennel and bank upto the wall to collect the milk.

Does anyone remember who delivered the milk in 1957?

Kind Regards

Tony
