Comment: That dear,dear lady holding the child is my deceased grandmother Sarah Gott better known as "Sal" to her friends but to all of her grandchildren and there are many of us, she was known as Mother Gott. The lady to her left is her daughter Margaret Greener, now deceased, but better known as "Maggie". The lady to her right is her granddaughter and my cousing Mary Purvis. The child on her knee is John Purvis. The photograph was taken in Hillside Crescent, Thornley. Sarah Gott was once a teacher at Thornley school.
