I wasn't sure exactly where in Feltham this was, but looking at the contact sheet it suddenly came back to me that this was almost certainly somewhere in a small development off the Ashford Road in Lower Feltham, just to the south of the remand centre. Some of the housing there was built for staff at what was then Feltham Borstal, one of the first such institutions, which took over the premises of the Middlesex Industrial School for Boys, built on a grand scale to re-educate 7-13 year old offenders and opened in 1859. It is still a relatively isolated development, separated by open greenbelt land from Feltham to the east and Ashford to the west.
 
I was cycling to Feltham to take some pictures because of a family connection (though not with the Borstal.) My mother grew up there and her father worked a smallholding that was shortly to be built over. Her father died three years before I was born, but I think I was taken to see the area when very small, though it was no longer worked by the family, but we still had relatives in the immediate area.
 
Like many working men of the era, my mother's father, born in 1868, was something of a jack of all trades, and although in later years a market gardener growing fruit and veg, his occupation on Mum's birth certificate is 'Plumber', and on a census record he was running a butcher's in Feltham. That made sense as his father had been a butcher in Peterborough.
 
Like many others he was also a deeply religious man, and like all of my known forbears, a non-Conformist. With a number of others he split away from one Independent (Congregational) church in Feltham to start another chapel not far away, doubtless on some abstruse doctrinal dispute. When my father (brought up a rather strict Baptist) arranged the licence for the marriage he managed to pick the wrong one of the two churches.
