How weird! I don't know the people in the top photo but I CERTAINLY know the dog! It's Patch our family's dog who used to run with Billy Wells' pony cavalcade from Gafzelle Drive to the sea-front Graham

Graham - Could you please do a write up about the tales you told us about Patch and the Ponies, finishing up with the discovery of this photo - it would make a great story!

P.S. Ring Mark - He has a couple of maps of the Settlement for you!
