Photograph supplied by Pat Buck (nee Stow) which includes her father John Stow, who was a cousin of Bill Stow.
We believe this photograph to be amongst the rarest and oldest ones we have from Great Wakering and it is great to provide all of the names for this one. We have other received photos from Bill’s daughter-in-law, Rita as well as an article about Bill’s son called The Piper of Wakering: John Stow 1938 – 2012 and this appears on the Barling and Wakering Villages Plus section of the website.
