Christopher Watkin says…. In the picture – taken in we think the early to mid 1930’s is William Watkin (1st generation Watkin Butcher) – the chap with the Germanic mustache in the middle (and my Great GrandFather) and the lady in the wavy blond hair standing next to him is Great Grandmother. My Grandfather (Phil) is standing under the door (the tall one) and he is the 2nd generation Watkin’s (standing alongside his Brother Louis who took over the Watkin’s in London Road)
