I took that photograph

Imagine my surprise when confronted with the photographs of the Kingstanding Settlement boxing team, this photograph was taken by me in 1946 or 1947 not quite sure which, I also photographed the football team at about the same time. I was employed by H J Whitlock and Sons Limited Photographers to the King, at the time the photo’s were taken I was very much a beginner in the photographic field having joined straight from Peckham Road school in Feb 1944 It took many years of training before you could call yourself a photographer with Whitlocks. However Dennis, I can’t remember you paying me for the photo, !!!. I was a member of the Settlement Club, and played for the football team made up from ex Peckham Road kid’s, we were quite a decent side, played in the Sunday league, George Hall was the captain. I have many memories of The Settlement and remember the names of quite a few of the members,
