Judy Baker - Looks like Lil RAWLINGS to the right in the white blouse
 
Chip Andrew Bryon - Not sure, but I think that could be my (and Hilary Jones') great - grandfather, Henry Jefferson BRYON, behind the driver, and his second wife, standing in the archway. (not our great-grandmother). He was landlord of the New Inn in the 1910s - early 1920s, so it's quite possible?
 
Hilary Jones - Think Chip could be right - and that looks like "Nanny" as she was known, they were landlords of New Inn and Seven Stars, my mum was born in 1922 and Harry didn't want his first grandchild to be born in a pub! hence My Nan had to go and stay with her sister, Frances STURGE in Lower Road - known as Newtown in those days, which is where my mum - Amy BRYON was born
