Heston Parish grounds, 1954/55 : Harry Tait and unnamed fellow
worker,
standing by the Shrine that they presumably built themselves
Can someone help me out with this one please ?
I knew Harry well and I can't identify either of these men.
Harry Tait (father of John and Paul whom you may have met at St Columba's
or
The Priory) was a builder by trade, I believe, and worked as jack-of-all-trades
and
master-of-all at Heston parish — firstly when it was run by the WFs
and later by the
diocese. IF Harry is pictured above, he would certainly be the man on
the left.

Bishop Walsh (left) with Fr Jack Maguire.
This is likely to have been taken in 1948 or after, when
Frank Walsh took over from Fr Maguire as parish priest at Heston.
