• Hi What I remember about this photograph is that the person who used to run the Toffee Apple and Candy Floss stall on the left, was a chap called Maurice Ash – his wife’s name was Esme. They ran it circa 1958-63, maybe longer. Maurice was a guitarist too and in his earlier years (circa early 1950s) he played with an outfit call Felix Mendleson’s Hawiian Serenade. He was a friend of my father, Cyril (also known as Frank) Raven and he became the godfather of my brother Paul, which is how i got to know about his background. He was a really jovial type. I remember that he bought me my first 4 string plastic guitar (a toy) and taught me a few ukelele chords- and i have never looked back – Thanks Maurice. Pete Raven (born on the Island in 1950)
