80 years in 80 photographs |
 1951 to 1962 We left Birnam shortly before my youngest brother, Charlie, was born in May 1951 and moved to 27, 12th Avenue, Parktown North, Johannesburg. It was our home for eleven years. The swimming pool was built in 1959. The huge jacaranda tree to the right of the house and the red bougainvillea growing up the walls outside Bobby and Lilian’s bedroom helped make the large garden especially colourful. In this photograph by Bobby – probably taken in late 1960 – Lilian can just be seen on the left-hand edge of the picture; Charlie is standing clutching a towel; and Stuart and I are sitting in chairs near the edge of the house. |
