The family were living in Worcester, when this photograph was taken.

Richard and Alex's parents Dawn and Philip lived at the Post Office at Knightwick prior to that. Philip's mum, Doris Eliza Holland had died in (1974) and they stayed there with Philip's dad, John Edward Holland, until 1978.

Alex, like his brother Richard, also lived at 5. Ribble Close, Ronkswood, Worcester until they were seven and five years of age (Richard being the eldest). The photograph on the left shows Alex, about 10 or 11 years old walking back home with his brother and father.
