Below is Phyllis Mary Herlingshaw (wife of Louis Raymond) in late 1947 with baby Colin on a rooftop in Passmore Street near Sloane Square, London:

And this is the same building as above where Phyllis Mary and husband Louis Raymond lived. You can see the same chimneys on the roof as in the previous photo. They were living in one of the top floor flats together with with Phyllis's mother Mary Elizabeth and step-father Frank Wilson and had a window view of Big Ben. A galvanised steel bath tub used to hang on the back of the kitchen door, now the occupants have real bathrooms and an electrically-operated entrance gate.

And this is Phyllis Mary Herlingshaw as a baby in 1924 when she was Phyllis Mary Day. She is being held by her mother, Mary Elizabeth Day (née King, later Wilson).

This was Charlotte Ann Herlingshaw in snowy upstate New York in about 1977:

This is Lesley Herlingshaw (second wife of William Herlingshaw the third, aka "Young Billy") with their son Brett in about 1999:

This is Louis Raymond Herlingshaw with son Richard Francis and a local chieftain on a holiday in South Africa:

This was Colin Herlingshaw aged 4 months in September 1947, in Middlesbrough (outside 57 Walpole Street, occupied by Aunt Katie, next door to Aunt Harriett at 59): Louis Raymond Herlingshaw and family were living at no. 57 for 2 or 3 years before moving back to London in about 1948. Ivy and Tommy Johnson also lived there for a while after getting married.

This was Kenneth Raymond at the same address as Colin above. That building was still there in 2014 but most of the houses in the street were empty and shuttered. The six houses directly opposite in the street were demolished before 2012.

And this was 57 Walpole Street just before demolition was planned. However, these houses were still there in 2016 and no. 57 (to the left of 55) was still occupied then. The red-painted house, no 59 was occupied by Harriet Wilkinson and her extended family for at least 96 years. She was an older sister of Sarah Ann and married George Henry Huskinson. Nos. 55 and 59 Walpole Street were bought by the council in 2008 and finally demolished in 2017 and all that is left there now is grass.

Here are Colin Herlingshaw (1947-2014) and Susan Ford (1949-2020) on their wedding day in Stamford Brook, West London in 1970:

Another wedding day, this time Joan Johnson's daughter Lisa to Paul in Dubai in 2006. Joan is a daughter of Ivy Herlingshaw and Thomas Johnson, her husband Phil Cline is on the left.

This was the home of a branch of the Herlingshaw family from about 1949 to 1956. It was an asbestos prefab at 62 Clarendon Road, London, W11, one of four built on the site of two large houses that were bombed in WWII. Now the area is known as Notting Hill and the prefabs are long gone, as is St John's Technical school just visible in the background (it appeared in The Beatles' film, "A Hard Day's Night"). Unusually for the time there was a telephone, with the number BAYswater 0050 (but we didn't know anybody else with a telephone to call, certainly nobody else in the family had a phone then). Later the phone number got changed to PARk 1626 and became a "party" line (ie shared between two customers).

Here is the infants school, long gone, that Colin and Kenneth Raymond went to in North Kensington. The ground floor was for infants and the upper floors for seniors. Colin also went to the senior school for a time. At that time the roof was an open area and the playground for seniors (who used to throw objects down amongst the infants playing at ground level).

The school was very close to the Royalty cinema that had Saturday morning performances for children at 6d per person. Eventually it became a bingo hall and later was demolished. This is it in 1970:

This building used to be The Clarendon Hotel (a hotel and public house) and was in the same road as the family prefab in North Kensington, fifty yards away. It became "The Quest", a social centre and for a while also the local doctor's surgery, now it is a care home. At one time it was the home of the famous Archer Road Club (cycling) who originally met in Archer Street above E.J. Barne's Cycle Shop (near Portobello Road). Archer Street later became Westbourne Grove after it was renamed.

The "Herlingshaw Farm" house (actually called "Coles Farm"), on about 30 acres in Cleverton, near Malmesbury in the late 1970s. The cows were part of the "family" too along with Louis Raymond, Phyllis Mary and Richard Francis and had their own names.

Guess who is wearing the high altitude suit (borrowed from the RAF at Farnborough) and white-painted "wellies" at the London Planetarium? This was the launch event for the Lambretta "Luna" scooter, designed by Nuccio Bertone.
