Southend trip, 2000

An undated picture of Tim Macer and Alan Taylor with Edith and Tricia (who still keeps in contact, with happy memories of their kindness, and of canal trips). They lived in Wapping for a time, and served on the PCC and in our worship, but now live in the Barbican, where Tim chairs the residents' consultation committee. Their civil partnership was dedicated at St Giles Cripplegate (the parish church of the Barbican), and as the links demonstrate, both have significant consultancy and university-based IT careers. We count them as old friends.

Crypt hall: various events

Sunday School: 1966, trip to Cobham 1968 (2 pictures), Easter 1969, Nativity January 1970

Parish fairs: in the first picture, the man with curly hair is Derek Turner, who became a verger at Southwark Cathedral and died in 2010, and the man with the cigarette is Denis O'Connor, crucifer and server. The ladder up the tree would not comply with today's health and safety requirements....
The second picture shows Marjorie Robbins on the left, who later worked for the United Nations in New York, Geneva and South Lebanon.
The final picture, around the tombola, shows Phil Hogan as a boy (now our chief server and sacristan).

Miscellaneous: outside the Mission Hall 1960 (Jimmy Wyeth & daughter Jenefer on the right, Percy (aka Richard) Chance in the centre); boys atop the tower (Ascension Day morning?); coach trips (in the women's group, Edith Chance [Percy's mother] is standing fifth from left - baptized at St George's, she was a long-term member, and cleaned the new hall from the late 1960's until the late 1970's); a confirmation group 1965+; church from Cannon Street Road; a procession (postwar but undated)
