A street party to mark the end of fighting in Europe held in Hollyhedge Road, Walsall. Holding the jug was 20-year-old Florence Aldridge, while wearing the green cardigan opposite was her mother Elizabeth Mountford. Just behind her, in the green pinafore dress, is Elizabeth's other daughter, Gwendoline, and the white-haired figure just visible at the very back was Elizabeth's mother, only known as Mrs Peakman. The young girl, third from front on the right, is Florence's niece Beryl Mountford. The picture was supplied by Florence's son Philip Aldridge, who lives in Wednesfield, Wolverhampton.
