We are delighted that the project researched the Housing Committee minutes and found this photograph. Â The Housing Committee are probably the people at the back right. Â We can see the Rev. but there is an extra woman (should only be 2 according to the plaque). Â The 5 men clustered around the plaque are probably the Mayor and the 4 named at the bottom of the plaque.
