On reverse of photograph: 'This was at the front - next the front gate. We have a propeller of Jimmy's over the gate. You can see the arm it is fixed on. The old house is all blue brick like the fence. Right opposite the sea - St Vincents Gulf really. Taken either 3 or 4 years ago with my camera. The Swan house, next door, has now been turned into 5 flats. They have built a fine new house & have 4 lovely children. They are R.C's. ... I was over 70 (tho nobody knew.) Ethel Booker. Born 28.11.1888, Sheffield ENG.'
