The man on the left is Charlie Hollingbery and the lady with the flowers is his wife Gwen (nee Knight). They lived, for many years, in Maisonwyck in Furtherwick Road. Charlie was a builder who developed the Charfleets Estate as well as many other properties on Canvey including naming roads; Gwendalen Avenue, Agnes Drive. He also had a thriving holiday hotel business in Cornwall.

Charlie and Gwen were my Nan and Grandad. I’m pretty sure that this is at the opening of the hall at St Nicholas church. There’s a plaque as you go into the hall that says that it was opened by Nan.
