My father was born on 9th August, 1917; died 25th January 1988. I believe that the gentleman pictured with my Uncle Ted (1908 - 98) inside the glasshouses, is Mr Dearman, who is featured in photographs taken by my father during the '20s and '30s - my father was a prolific and assured photographer from an early age. In 1996 I returned to Waltham Abbey with a friend of mine. We walked up Honey Lane, which is just up the road from my birthplace, 77, Farm Hill Road (6th October 1957). My grandfather's fine detached bungalow, which I well remember, is, of course, no longer there, having been torn down, along with its neighbour on the eastern side, to form a link road from Honey Lane to the Ninefields Estate, a massive LCC 'overspill' estate, built in the late 1960s - during that decade Waltham Abbey changed from being semi - rural to the more urban 'Greater London' feel that pervades it today. If you walk up Honey Lane from the town, notice the numbering of the properties on the northern side: 113, 119.. 115 and 117 having been obliterated. Interesting that the rest of the properties have never been renumbered, as a result. Many thanks for the information, and the pictures, some of which I have never seen before (others are in my Tullett family albums).
