Silver gelatin print, part of the Henry Grant photography collection. The image shows children sat around a table with two adults. One bends over to pull a christmas cracker with a child. The note on the reverse reads 'MAYOR OF ST. PANCRAS AT CHILDREN'S PARTY. Every year, just after Christmas a bumper Christmas party is held for the 70 or so children at the St. Margarets Residential Nursery at Leighton Road, Kentish Town. Tea is provided for the children, who are up to 5 yrs of age, by the L.C.C. Children's Dept. and generous friends of the Nursery provide a present for each child. Each year the party is honoured by a visit of the Mayor, and the photograph shows Councillor T.J. Redman at the party [following part handwritten] pulling a Cracker with on the children'. Another handwritten note reads 'Turon? 30/'12/57'.
