A day out with neighbours of the village of Birtley UK, all married all mothers. Enjoying a few hours of freedom together with ‘The Mothers Institute’. Friendship and support offered in a tough post war world. My grandmother born in 1900 is fifth from the left front row sitting down. Martha Jane Potts. Proud of Scottish Inheritance, going back to Robert the Bruce and his wife Isabella Mar. Missed so much Grandma. These photos are important historic records of social outings and groups in local villages. Gran often helped organise them and took part actively ensuring everyone was safe.
