Guard of Honour

George Eaton was a local professional photographer who lived in Western Terrace, Washington, in the 1940's and 50's.
These photographs have been processed from negatives and old photographs donated to Washington History Society by Mr & Mrs Don Williams who were executors to the late Mr Eaton's daughter. The Society gratefully appreciates their thoughtfulness. This photograph shows the guard of honour to HRH the Prince of Wales on his visit to the Washington & Usworth unemployed centre December the 6th 1934.
