Jameson Road in snow
A residential street under a heavy snowfall, looking towards Coopers Lane. The row of 1930s-built red-brick houses (Nos. 1-11) were originally police houses; one police officer and his family were still living there in 1994.
My father David Graham took this photograph and was kind enough to let me upload it.

Jameson Road and rainbow
This photograph shows a boat-house (with black double-doors), garages and a house near the Coopers Lane end of Jameson Road; behind them the backs of houses on St. Osyth Road are visible. Fishing tackle sits in front of the boat-house.
Above is a rainbow.
The picture was taken from a front garden on the opposite side of the street. My apologies that the "sold" sign intrudes.

Alton Park Junior School grounds: demountable classrooms and willow
This photograph shows demountable classrooms to the north-east of the school, behind one of several willows in the grounds. The playground lay beyond. Both the demountables and the willow have since been removed (I looked on Google Street View to add context to the picture).
Taken as part of a photography exercise as a ten-year-old pupil; I remember the staff member responsible with great fondness.
I was educated in this group of demountable classrooms from eight to ten years old (1993-5) and remember them as comfortable, well-lit, warm, and dry apart from the occasional roof leak which did not bother us children. After going up the wooden exterior steps visible in the picture you would enter a cloakroom which led through a door into the classroom. This was rectangular, with large windows, strip lighting for winter or overcast days and a sink and roller towel in one corner. A blackboard with chalk or whiteboard on which the teacher would write with marker pens was on one wall (blackboards were just beginning to be replaced at the time).
I noticed when scanning the picture that there is a child (now long since grown) visible at the left hand side.

The lake by Lake Walk
The photograph shows the lake by Lake Walk and Lake Avenue, frozen at a time of heavy snowfall. The picture was taken from the pavement of Coopers Lane looking towards houses on Lake Walk visible in the background.
The outline of the lake is marked in blue on Ordnance Survey maps.
Mallards were living on and around the lake when the photograph was taken.
My father, David Graham, took the picture and was kind enough to permit me to upload it.
