Can you help two readers solve the mystery in these photographs?

MAGGIE ROBINSON, nee Burgess, of Wood Road, Heybridge, sent in a picture of a Christmas party in Heybridge Basin, in possibly 1948 or 1949.

She said: “I can identify all but the two little boys standing in the right-hand bottom corner and the Father Christmas. The girl kneeling with the bow in her hair is me.”

EILEEN CANNOM, of The Square, Heybridge, also appealed for readers’ help with a photograph she sent in of some boys from Heybridge.

“It is thought to be about 1952, but where and what for eludes me,”

she said.
