Whilst searching for the picture of Sunny Vale Gardens (see the next posting) I came across this picture of my mother and a tandem. By a simple process of deduction and elimination we can assume that the photograph was taken by my father. The location is more of a problem. I know that in the 1930s they would cycle all over Yorkshire and Lancashire and therefore it could have been any one of a hundred different parks or gardens. The rather ornate gates and the wide clear path means that it certainly wasn't Sunny Vale.
