This photo of the VE Day+1 party in Henry Street Rainham Kent was kindly supplied by Paul Edwards. The reverse of the photo reads "Souvenir of the Children's Party held in Henry St Rainham on VE Day Plus One (9th May 1945) Paul believes that the man second from right is Percy Woolley and the lady far left may be Percy's mother Ellen.
The street has changed significantly since 1945 but based on the gaps in the houses I believe the photo was taken looking towards where numbers 9 & 11 Henry Street are now and the edge of number 23 Henry Street is on the right hand side of the photo. This would have been the location of Akhurst Building Yard.
