This photograph shows Emily Collins with an unknown man around 1921. Four generations of the Collins family have lived in Abbey Road since the houses were built in 1935. Lena and Tom Collins were the first to move into number 17 in 1935. Tom went on to be a supervisor at the North Devon Bakeries until his retirement in the 1970’s. His brother, Jack Collins and his mother (Emily –my great-grandmother) lived at number 21 for a good part of the 1950’s
Thanks to Steve Collins for this photograph of his family among several others.
