Steveanson and Dixon Street in Carlin How held a party in 1945 to celebrate the end of World War II; some of the people present are identified on the image. However Derick Pearson also told us: “Also on the right hand row is Mrs Kitchiner who lived in the bottom house on the left of the street; she had a garden at the side of the tennis courts where she kept hens and ducks; her daughter Ada worked in Ainsley’s shop for years. Mrs Thornton, Hilda Rawlings; as well as Lancasters, Doweys, Hudsons, Tilburns and Robinsons are all in this photograph. The tables were set about about four houses up the street between Steveanson Street and Dixon Street. The School can be seen at the top of the photograph, Carlin How club hall where the dances were held for years was directly behind the photographer.”
