MALC RIPLEY continues his reminiscences series!

This is from a trip to Holland in 1960 by Hedon ladies:

Malc has identified from Left to right – Joyce Hewick, Mrs Pickard, Gladys Ripley and Mabel Beadle – who had a sweet shop in St Augustine’s Gate. The other person far right is unidentified.

Can anyone provide us with further information about the women, the trip, or the story behind the photograph?
