1950s coach excursion

Almost nothing is known about this photo from our archives, probably taken outside The Holly Bush in the 1950s. Two former local residents (Lyn Hester née Walker, who grew up in South Street, and her friend Gina who also spent her childhood on the island) have been able to identify some of the people, who are listed below.

Black and white photo, 1950s, of coach with group of mostly children standing at the back of it, arranged for a photo. Probably going on an outing
