Summary
John thinks this photo was taken in the mid-1930s in the field behind the vicarage, which his mother told him was used as a cricket pitch by the village team, for which his dad played. He remembers the field being used for cows by Netherend Farm in the early 1950's. On the photo, John's father Les Deeley is on the back row at the left hand end and on the back row right hand end is Bill Higgs who he didn't meet until 1958 and didn't realise he ever lived in Netherend until he saw this photo. Reverend Heale is obvious from his attire but John can't identify anyone else.
