I recently had an occasion to look at your site, can I say how much I enjoyed it. I found the picture of Failford Cafe, which my Great Grandfather built. He purchased the land about 1923/4 and as a joiner, built the property. I have attached a picture of the front of the cafe, taken about 1925/6. Left to right John K Black, Margaret Black (his wife) my grandmother Mary Black and in front my Uncle Jack (another John K Black!). However the gentleman standing to the right/front, we do not know who he was. He wasn't family - maybe someone can help.
