European Alley Mates




Let's see how I do identifying this group of European clowns:

Top three from left to right: Alby Austin, Percy and Frankie Fossett

Bottom three from left to right: Unidentified, Little Billy Merchant and Unidentified

The top three clowns are Alby Austin, Percy Huxter, and Len"Spider" Austin brother of Alby.

I agree with Sue.
It's likely that Frankie Fossett is one of the unidentified clowns beside Billy Merchant.

Having let my subconscious dwell on this, I realise that the photo itself turns up regularly when dealing with that era. But I haven't been able to find a copy with a caption.
I have a feeling that Frankie Fossett is at bottom left, and at bottom right is a clown called Bobino, actual name something like Bob Beesley.
