Not Brentford

Full size photo from a Joseph Kingham Outing, early 1950s

The photo showing the whole party outside The Black Swan is shown below in three sections so you can see more details:
People outside 'The Black Swan' (left)

Left section My father Cyril Henry Sharp is on the far left, to his right slightly behind is Charlie Hurran and I think Benny the gatekeeper is the one in the flat cap. I can see Bill Hurran behind the man in the hat....who could be Mr Bowes. I recall he always wore a homberg hat... I'm not sure though. Hopefully someone will recognise a few other faces...


People outside 'The Black Swan' (centre)

Centre section Mrs Abbatt, the managing director's wife, is the lady in the middle bending down with a dog, the lady to her right, in the light coat and hat is Mrs Lilley. The tall man between Mrs Lilley and Mrs Abbatt is Roger Mulley. I recall them both as I worked in the office with them.

There is also Joyce ? standing behind Mrs Abbatt, next to Roger Mulley. Left of Joyce, the name looks like Mrs Chirlie? then Mrs Bartlett, then Mrs Beckett who I think is the lady in the light colour coat with the cross on it... Mr Sykes is the tall man to her left, then Amy.

Sandra Graves adds 'Joyce Bartholomew is the lady standing behind the lady bending down with the dog and the guy next to her is Arthur Ingoldsby. They met at Kinghams and later married.'


People outside 'The Black Swan' (right)

Right section Going right from Mrs Abbatt are three names (unclear which order):Mr Harvey, Mr Pearce, Mr Butcher.

If you are interested in the company take a look at Carole's write-up about Kinghams from its foundation to the late 1950s. If you can help with names please get in touch.
