The Fenway, (Boston), 1925

The Fenway, (Boston), 1925
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "TATTERED & TORN (or otherwise damaged)"
Rather the worse for wear, but a sweet picture, nonetheless, showing my husband's father as a boy of three, his mother and grandmother strolling along the Fenway, in Boston.
Agnes, Harry, and Ronnie King were fairly new immigrants from Lancashire. Harry, as an engineer, emigrated for better prospects. His mother, shown here with Agnes and Ronnie, also emigrated several years later. I'm not sure whether she had emigrated here, or is still just visiting.
They lived in Lynn, outside of Boston, and moved up to Springfield, Vermont, sometime in the mid to late 1920s.
