Part of a collection of 49 copy negatives showing families living on the post war housing estate and former military camp at Lydiard Park during the 1950's.

This selection shows one family with several snapshots of the couple's daughter Sheila gathering snowdrops in the park, playing on her tricycle and in fancy dress for a party celebrating the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
