Margaret Vernon, daughter of Herbert Wallace Redfearn came across the site in 2011 and was kind enough to contribute photos of Herbert and his wife, Alice Eva. The only known photo of them before this was the group photo taken at Winnie's 21st birthday party.

Also in 2011 many more early photos of Frank Redfearn and his wife Janet (née Brown) have been recovered from their home in Selsey thanks to Alison Redfearn and are now in his photo gallery for viewing or downloading.
