Dennis & Ron picking conference pears; Dennis's induction training to us young pickers, consisted of four rules to be obeyed at all times, each and every rule being "don't drop the pears into the bucket"

I think this photograph has been taken at Lord's Grounds - from the public footpath end looking towards West Fen Road.

The man on the left is Mr Poulter.
This is probably off Green Street, where Regent Terrace is now. This was the old Land Army depot.
