VE Day 1945

 


A photo relevant this week as we approach the 75th Anniversary of Victory in Europe day on Friday 8th. This is a photo of a Newton VE day celebration taken from opposite the vehicle entrance to Newton School, with Hall Lane houses in the background. We believe we have named 16 of the participants, but still missing 9. And it would be great if anyone knew the name of the pony!
