This slide was found by Phil Lomax among Jack Alexander’s C&S photos. It’s labelled Apr 16, 1949 but with no other information.
I searched the NGDF, which is the font of all knowledge, and found this 2014 thread with an almost identical photo. [ngdiscussion.net]
To help with Phil’s captions/cataloguing, can anyone add to what’s on the thread? Specifically confirm the photo location, a bit of context, plus maybe an update on where it is now.
Cheers,
Ralph
