A New(ish) Ilminster website

I came across this website a few weeks ago -

http://www.dot-the-eye.com/Ilminster/New/(S(1bhd1ezq1yw5qmjq2qf2apum))/Default.aspx?Page=MainPage&LHS=1&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

And I sent them an email asking if they would put a link on their site to our Summervale Blog.Under the Community heading they have a history section and I felt that we could add some interesting photos and stories to that.

They have agreed in principle to us interacting and I sent this email today -

I'm not sure how this will work with your website. Perhaps you could put a section under Community Groups headed - Post War Memories. I could then write a piece introducing my blog and including the link so that anyone interested could see the blog. They could then contact me direct.

I suggest that you and your committee could look at the blog -

http://summervale1944.blogspot.com/

so that you can see all the photos and read the memories of those who lived in Ilminster after the war and still call it " home".

In the meantime they sent me 2 great photos -

The Bike Boys

Allan Dixon and Peter Westmacott on the right & possibly David Chambers?

?? Michael Jolly, David Westmacott?

No idea! Help.

Note – there is a CAR outside Mike Smith’s bungalow – A rare occurrence.

Mrs Newlyn’s Scouts? ( She is at the back on the left).

I am assuming they are scouts as I don’t recognise anyone except Clive Williams – the love of my young life -

Clive in the middle in white.

Who are the others? Apparently this photo came from the Bristol Evening News.
