I am grateful to Jennifer Woolmington for this photograph of four Hardington ladies engaged in a theatrical performance or entertainment.

The are, from left to right:

-Eunice Burridge of the Old Track, Hill End, wife of Philip (AKA Oscar) Burridge and mother of Jane and Roger.

-Gladys Rawlins of Vale Farm, Hardington Marsh, wife of Albert.

-Mabel Short of 4, Hill End, wife of Jim.

-Flora Marsh of 5 St James Terrace, Hardington Moor, wife of Ken, and mother of Pauline, Roderick, Jennifer, and Loraine.

Oscar Burridge was an accomplished folk musician who played with the Yetties on some of their recordings. His son, Roger, was born the same year as Ken Curtis, Ray Turner, and myself.
