Here is my dear, much-misunderstood Dad, in his heyday in, my guess is, ’the early 1930s’ ie a few years before he was married (in 1936). A scanned print. On holiday in Exmoor I believe. A farm where I think he stayed a few times and evidently went riding, as he used to like to do on Port Meadow. These years from about 1925 to 1935 were the years of his single-adulthood, aged 20 to 30, working for his father at Archer Cowley & Co, and living at the new, grand, family residence with servants, at 130 Banbury Road. He looks happy. Life must have been relatively simple for him. Very little if anything to do in the way of housework for ten years (which was a habit which was to ill-serve him in his days of active married family life). Relative affluence for the family at large. His elder brother Arthur was married in, I think, the early 1920s, and so left the family home before Uncle James’s legacy arrived in about 1925, and thus missed entirely (in terms of the effect on his own daily life) the benefit of the legacy.. But Fred, my father, marrying more than 10 years later than his brother Arthur, had about 10 years of the life at Somerville, 130 Banbury Road, before he married and moved with his wife, my mother, Gwen Penfold.Archer, back to 64 Kingston Road, where he had been born in 1905, and had lived for many years, which was still owned by his father, William G.R. Archer, and which was rented to him. Here however, he is apparently carefree, in holiday mood, giving a shoulder-ride to a little girl of 8 or 10 who, perhaps, was a fellow-holidaymaker, or perhaps the daughter of the house/farm.
