FROM THE FAMILY ALBUM No.5


Lovely picture of Arthur Bayliss and his wife Phyllis who were great ballroom dancers - seen here at a dance competition finals night during the 1950's. Fred anf Ginger wouldn't have stood a chance!

  1. That photo is absolutely glorious. They look like they're starring in an MGM musical!

  2. Alvin tell me that this picture was taken at the Grovenor Hotel in Park Lane, London. It wasn't a competition but a Fishmonger's Ball.

  3. Glad you liked it Cerpts, I can remember the night they left home to go to that ball, and being stunned by how my mum looked in that dress, which is now with my niece Cheryl in Essex - I hope!

  4. What a brilliant photo to have of your mum and dad, Alvin. I remember they loved dancing. So did you come to that, I remember you took me to a dancing lesson place a couple of times.
