i suppose that it was mr beaghen who was responsible for the renovations that destroyed the interior of saint mary's church, where thomas hobbes' father once officiated, and possibly it was he that binned the parish records, too, yet he always seemed to be the personification of kindness and goodwill
mr wheadon had a little hairdressing business in the south-west corner of the cross hayes or saint dennis's lane and i was taken there once or twice for a brutally quick trim that brought tears to my infant eyes
on the wall of his dilapidated salon was hung a pre-war photograph of him cutting a friend's hair in the lions' cage of a visiting circus
it is more than fifty years since he cut my hair, yet in all those years, and amongst all the really wonderful people i've encountered, it would be hard to think of two with as much life and good humour as messrs wheadon and beaghen

HI, i came across this blog whilst searching for anything to do with my great grandfather Billy Wheadon. My sister is doing a scrap book on my fathers upbringing and we would love to know as much as we can and gather as many photos as we can. I'm going to Malmesbury to visit the hairdressers to see if i can get a copy of the photograph that you have described as it is still there now. if you have any information then i would love to hear from you.

hullo alexandra, i may be able to recover a faint and blurred copy of that photo from my own archives, so watch this space after the weekend
Thank you so much Tristan that would be brilliant as the hairdressers are closed at the moment. Thank you :)

you should be able to open the images in a new tab and then double-click to view them in a larger size, i expect you already know how
if you like i can e-mail the larger scanned images, which are huge, but i'll need your e-mail address
I've manged to save them on my phone so I will try and print them and see how they turn out. Thank you so so much I can't tell you how grateful I am for all of your help :)!
