He was a coal miner who worked in various of the Forest pits all his working life, finishing at the Northern. He married Emily Bullock from Longhope".

Does anyone recognise the clergyman or the location?.

Nick Duberley added (December 2022): "... I asked my brother John about this (he was 90 this year - 2022) His response was :- the place is the back of the chapel, situated between butchers shop and village square next to the pound. I don't recognise anybody".

The story behind Joseph and his Brethren can be seen in this wikipedia article.

The photographer is R G Gibbs, Ruardean.
