Maude Winnifred (Riddell) Parke (1898-1982)


The following images were taken from badly discoloured Ektachrome slides.
They show the homes and one occupation of my grandmother in early 1961.
She also gave piano lessons in her home.

Above, 11/13 King's Road, Valois in March 1961.
Reportedly the house was assigned two municipal street numbers
because 13 was considered to bring 'bad luck'.
